Indian Flats Falls (Great Smoky Mountain National Park)

On one of my recent adventures, I made it to Indian Flats Falls.  However, the story doesn’t start there… Several years ago, my dad and brothers had a great idea to take a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Benton Mackaye Trail.  We would start on the eastern end of the park and traverse to the western end of the park and a little bit beyond.  That trip netted me a beautiful sunrise atop Mount Sterling.  Unfortunately, there was an injury that prevented us Click here for the rest of the story…

Bridal Veil Falls (Highlands, North Carolina)

Bridal Veil Falls (Highlands, North Carolina)

I spent a few days this spring in the western North Carolina.  In the time the family was there, we visited eight named waterfalls.  Talk about a fun time.  I also found out that the boy can just about out hike the adults.  This was one of the waterfalls that we encountered on Highway 64.  The trek was long and exhausting, but we made the 20 yard trek from the car just fine.  I was disappointed that the road under the falls was closed.  I would have like to get one of those cool “vehicle under the falls” shots.  That did not happen and we ended up with this instead.

I took a drive through some of the back roads of Alabama about a week ago.  My middle child rode with me and, of course, I had to stop a few times for photos.  What she did not know when we left, was that I brought along a camera for her to take some photos too.  This is not one of hers.  I’ll have to post some of them soon.

A couple years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Phoenix, Arizona.  It was a pretty cool place, but the temps were a bit hotter than I like during the day.  Now I understand the drastic temperature change from day to night in the desert.  While there, I took a little while to run around South Mountain Park, which was right across the street from the Arizona Grand Resort and found this Monarch Butterfly taking a little brake.

This was a short, not too hard hike.  I was able to make it to Upper Desoto Falls and Lower Desoto Falls.  This was after running by Helton Creek Falls.

A short hike around Vogel State Park brings you to this waterfall.  The best view is from the base of the falls, but it is easily visible from the road driving near the park.
