Over the weekend, we made the two-hour trek out to Fall Creek Falls State Park, located southeast of Nashville, Tennessee. The schools here are just finishing their two-week break, so there were quite a few visitors at the park.
Starting at the nature center, we crossed the suspension bridge and hiked a mile to the tallest waterfall on this side of the Rocky Mountains. We haven’t had much rain, so the fall was more of a light shower, as you can see from the pictures.
After taking photos from the lookout point at the top, we ventured 256 feet down to the base of the falls.
The trail was gorgeous, especially with the autumn-colored leaves, but climbing back up was a struggle. I’m going to count that as my leg workout for the year…
Beautiful pictures Ellie! Mr Handsome so tiny. LOL
Thank you! I wanted to get a good shot of the huge cliff above him, but it ended up making him look quite small. LOL.

Fall is the best time of the year to go hiking.
Yes, I agree. Not too hot and not too cold. 🙂
Ellie
It is a nice place. At least you are dry.G good outings.
The forecast said it might rain, but we were blessed that it didn't. 🙂
Ellie
What a fabulous view!
Isn't it? Definitely a beautiful place for a hike!
Ellie
I think it is wonderful that you and Mr Handsome are doing things to enjoy the nice fall weather and making memories. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
It's my pleasure. 🙂 What kinds of fall-related activities have you and your husband done this year?
Ellie
Unfortunately we have not been able to spend much time outside because of my husband's allergies and asthma. This Friday we will be going to our nephews last home football game to watch him March in the band. Then next weekend we will be helping at our churches fall festival.
That's too bad! I'll say a prayer for him. Football games and fall festivals are fun. 🙂
Ellie
Absolutely stunning- nothing better than enjoying God's beauty in nature!
Thanks, Kell! And I totally agree!
Ellie
What pretty pictures Ellie!
Thank you! 🙂

How can anyone believe that was created no more than 6,000 years ago??
Because Gods word tells us differently 🙂
You do realize that the Bible is a book (a collection of books, actually) written in many different times by many different humans, right?
We have minerals on Earth dating back to 4.375 billion years old. Radioactive isotopes don't lie. If you can't believe in those, then you can't believe in the isotopes in your own body, because you're naturally radioactive, too.
Do you not workout regularly?
What kind of question is that,even if Ellie does work out,anyone would be tired out over that long haul they walked!
I try to work out every other day, although that doesn't always happen. Lol
Ellie
Thank you so much for sharing this awe inspiring scenery

Ellie
