2020 Vacation Day Three

July 15, 2020

2020 Vacation Day Three Adventure: Lowery Falls and Gee Creek Falls, Cherokee National Forest, TN.

We found the trailhead and everybody is happy 😊.
This is a short hike (less than a mile) but it is supposed to be steep and rocky.
We found a nice rock formation right away.
We jumped off the trail onto the little cascades.
Lots of little cascades along the way.
There was a little bit of work here and there with some branches and trees down.
Luna wasn’t so sure about climbing up here.
This hike turned out to be a little challenging with steep climbs and lots of rocks. We made it back down and ready to go for some more adventures.
We stopped here for some wading.
It was a beautiful spot and we had it all to ourselves.
I was poised with the camera waiting for a splash 💦.
Now for hike #2 at Gee Creek Trail.
A nice bridge to cross (although we had several river crossing along this trail with no other bridges to assist with crossing).
Our happy hiking Patricia!
Beautiful cascades along the entire trail.
Our first of several waterfalls.
Climbing is a must.
We made it to the top!
Another beautiful waterfall with an awesome swimming hole (we will go in on our way back).
This bug is looking at you! We also saw a baby rattlesnake!
Conquering fears crossing the water on a big log.
Pretty little waterfall.
Is that a snake behind you mom?! Nope false alarm just a stick.
More climbing!
Back at the swimming hole!
The water is cool . . .
But refreshing!!
Lots of rock hopping water crossings.
Jump!!
One last look at this beautiful double waterfall!
We definitely had adventurous experiences on this hike!
