This park was so beautiful and the trail seemed to be well taken care of. My first time here so I wasn't ready for the decline to the falls. I'm talking don't trip because you won't stop for about 70 feet steep. It's broken up by some sketchy stairs and lots of exposed roots from several trees.

Read moreBeautiful waterfalls. I came to Tennessee for a half marathon with friend, but it got canceled. So me and my friend looked for close hikes and found this one.

There’s a lot of wonderful lookout spots for the local avian life as well, bring...
