Hiking

I was so excited Sunday to finally get out in the woods and hike!! I went with one of my roommates and we chose some trails nearby that had 3 different waterfalls :-)

The air was warm and the sky bright as we started on the trail. After a fairly steep hike we came to the first Juney Wank Falls which was absolutely amazing. There was a bridge built to go across the river at the base of the waterfall, which added to the greatness! :-)
Then we continued on the trail, semi lost, ending up on the Deep Creek Horse Trail. As we hiked we met up with a couple from Charlotte, NC vacationing at the campground for Memorial Day. It was great to chat with them as we walked and they had great suggestions for future adventures! As we came to the end of the hike we found the next waterfall called Indian Creek Falls.

Next we got to watch people get into the river to go tubing...lets just say it looks a little more crazy than the river tubing I have done before with a lot of rocks and quite fast. However, it does look A LOT of fun!! I hope we get a chance to do it soon! The final falls was the Tom Branch Falls, which started really high up and was fascinating to watch!This area is so lovely!! I hope we get more hiking in this weekend, pray for more sun and less rain!! Oh and just as we were finishing this hike it started to rain, it was the perfect cool down! :-)
