Crabtree Falls

In October, we hiked Crabtree Falls, a popular destination spot near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Here we are at one of the stops along the way. It was an unusual hike since the falls are really a series of cascades on the side of a mountain. One moment you hear and see a water fall, then the trial snakes away from the water to only come back to it. The path itself seems to be cut from the mountainside, since it is quite rocky.



The above picture is one of those cascading waterfalls. It was stunning. So, what is the purpose of hiking up the mountain? Here is the view:



Need I say more? A picture is worth a thousand words.
