Waterfall morning

We piled into the van Satruday for an adventure morning. We started the day off with a hike to the beautiful Catawba Falls in Old Fort (just about a 25 minute drive from the homestead). The forest service recently bought the land around the falls and opened the trail to the public only a few months ago. The hike was fantastic ~ a perfect 3 miles means little to no whining from the children, we started at 8:30am to beat other hikers on the trail, and the weather was perfectly cool with just a little fog. We enjoyed a snack of maple yogurt poundcake at the base of the falls and loved splashing around in the cool mountain water. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning!
