Twin Falls

Tuesday, April 3rd hike without Pam.  She's with her family in Piegon Forge at a Baseball tournament.  I remember those days.  Pam has been doing the Tuesday hikes with me.  She missed a good one, but we'll make up for it.  Today we grouped again at the Holly Springs Store off Hwy 11 and headed a few miles on 178 to the upper area of Twin Falls.  Another gorgeous day with temps around 65.

On our first leg of this hike we headed up to the top of the falls and back.  It was mostly easy but had some elevated areas, of course.  Total of 3 miles.  As I understand it, this trail is relativley new in this area.

Our regular leader,Bob, was out today, so Nancy was the lady in charge.  We'll, she new where we were to go and she is very full of knowledge of all the trails we have traveled. 



Just above the falls...it is very slick!

Oh, and my new "Keens" did great!  Love em!

A little detour on our way home at Long Shoals Creek.
Great place for the kids to swim and fish!
