This was an awesome hike to start the year!!! I had never been on this trial before and can't believe that is was only an hour away. It had some of the most amazing views for this area and the trail was definitely a local favorite. I had never seen so many cars and suvs at a trail head before or ran into that many people on the trial. It was raining the day before when I went to check out the trail head location and I was prepared to go.......but I didn't. I am so glad that I waited for following sunny day to take this on. The trail is about 5 miles total and has its challenges, like the trial that goes along the river wall after you come down the rock steps.....Awesome!!! You can access the AT along the trail as well if you want. Then the trial goes on and you see more amazing views of the river as it twist and turns into the mountain. Finally, you reach the falls (video below) and on this day it was amazing to hear and see this beautiful site. If you haven't been, you definitely need to add this to your list of trail to hike.
