Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Heiss Mtn. to Possum Creek and Return

4.8.14  
Heiss mtn to possum creek bridge and return. We had ten hikers. We had a perfect day for hiking - sunny,cool,and a nice breeze. The trail was in very good condition and the creeks and waterfalls were flowing well and pretty as can be seen in the photos. Part of the hike is short but strenuous (the hill coming out of the gorge on the return). Everyone made it fine and seemed to enjoy the outing.  The distance was approximately 3 miles and I would rate it as moderate.  For a few pictures click here or on the Heiss Mtn. Tab above.

Fall Creek Falls Wildflower hike

4.5.14    Not much to report on this hike.  It was accompanied by a ranger that described in detail the local wildflowers.  I'm sorry, but there are no flower pictures.  The hike was approximately 4.5 miles and rated as moderate.  For a couple of pictures of the hikers, click here or on the Fall Creek Falls tab above.
