Well, here's part two of our weekend trip. These are pictures from when we visited Dupont State Park, which is located on the border of North and South Carolina. I really wanted to visit several waterfalls while we were in the area. While visiting Ceaser's Head, which is near Brevard, North Carolina, we asked the park rangers where to go and they directed us to Dupont State Park, which has 6 waterfalls in the park. The three we chose are within 1 1/2 miles of each other, so we thought it best to go there. The rangers stated that we should be able to see some great falls because the weekend before, they had received heavy rainfall.
The first of the falls we visited was Hooker Falls and on the trail to see it, Jim and Patrick stopped a minute to take in the beauty of the creek - I just love this picture of them - there's just something so sweet and special about it. I also took another one when I was behind them and caught them walking together. Notice how it appears they are in sink with one another as they walk - isn't it wonderful?

The second and third of the falls were Triple Falls and High Falls, which are about 3/4 of a mile from each other and just across the street from Hooker Falls; however, you have to walk the steepest mountain I have ever encountered (I grew up in the mountains of NC so this is saying a lot), but it was well worth the aching calves :)
I think out of all these falls, High Falls was my favorite because it was the tallest one I have ever seen and there were so many different ways of seeing it.
I had to put a picture in here showing off my wonderful husband looking up at the top of High Falls and then I had to show you what type of trail we had to walk on in order to get to High Falls - isn't it neat? I have never seen roots like that before.
Well, if I don't stop now, I'll keep going. I hope you enjoy these - thanks for coming by.
Have a great rest of the week and I hope to get some cards uploaded in the next day or two.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to visit, thank you for sharing some of the scenery from your weekend trip. I remember so well walking trhough trails and seeing God's handiwork. We have some wonderful scenes along the C&O Canal here in Maryland, thanks for reminding me to get out there soon and see them!
ReplyDeleteThat photo of the two of them looking at the river would be great to add a father/son poem to and then frame. I think that would be a great gift for them both.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was nice out. Have a great weekend as well :)
