Yes - we really were there! On Sunday Jim and I hiked 2.5 miles to the falls and then back to the trail head for a picnic. This waterfall is located in the back country of Cades Cove. The trail follows Abrams creek most of the way, winding around 2 or 3 mountains. However, at times we were looking way (way) down a mountain side to see the river through the woods. Several times we crossed the river when we finally came down the mountains, and each crossing was a single log laid across the water with an attached log hand rail.
It was an arduous hike and coming back many hikers stopped us to ask how much further and if it was worth it. Our answer - always - YES. It really is worth it!
Truly - a day in nature is always worth the beauty we experience.
Here's to the Ride!
