Had such an awesome time last Tuesday on this hike, just had to suffer again. This is such a beautiful hike I couldn't resist it . Same hike via boat access to Cranbrake on Lake Jocassee, just a different crowd. Weather was a bit warm this trip, but I had my bug spray and plenty of water.
We know how to have a good time! |
Ready to hit the 6+ miles
The 225-ft suspension bridge over
the Toxaway River
Several of us attempted to count these steps.....my count was 260!

Our hearts are pumping hard at this point.
Best Bud Light I've ever had!

Sharon and Bill cooling off!
During our hike, 5 of our group decided they would supposedly take a shortcut. There is an old road bed that follows along a short distance of the trail. The hikers kept going even after being warned to get back on the trail. It wasn't until after we made it back to the boat that we received a phone call for help. NEVER leave your group! Anyway, they made their way to another area of the lake and we found them on our return ride.
All safe but a bit worried that we wouldn't find them.
We didn't get to see Laurel Falls again because of the lake level, but our Captain took us to see High Falls. Apparently, during the summer this place is swarmed with boaters, swimmers etc.
