Thursday, May 16, 2013, Fall Creek Falls, TN


We had originally planned to camp at Fall Creek Falls, TN, but ran out of time, so we did the next best thing - we drove over for the day. It was only about 90 miles so not a bad trip. Fall Creek Falls has got to be one of the prettiest falls anywhere. Recent rains meant decent flow in the creek and an exceptionally pretty view!


Cane Creek Cascades was really pretty as well. I remember swimming in the cascades many years ago, but I think there was enough water to wash me downstream today.


I went on the swinging bridge. It looked exactly the same as it did 40 years ago. It might have been swinging a bit more under the increased load.





Just as we wondered what kind of wildlife might be around out jumped a deer who posed for us.


We finished our park tour with Piney Creek Falls and the Piney Creek gorge. I don't think we could have had any better weather.





The tree in the picture below is on "Buzzard's Roost." Walking out to it required stepping across a gap in the rock. I could not see the bottom of the gap. The cracked stone someone had cemented in place over the gap looked a bit precarious, but we ventured on.
