Fall at Fall Creek Falls

October 17, 2016 by 27 Comments

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…

      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.

      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. πŸ™‚

    How can anyone believe that was created no more than 6,000 years ago??

      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.
