After a long drive to Ducktown and a short drive on a dirt road we arrived at the trail head. This hike can be described as a lollipop. After a bit of a hike, the trail splits and makes a circle before returning to the split. There were 11 of us on the easy-moderate 4.5 mile hike. There were two water falls to be viewed on this hike and we saw both of them. Since we have been having rain, both falls were flowing with great gusto which made the viewing that much better. The climb back out from the lower falls was the only moderate part of the hike and that was not bad as it was quite short. We also saw some varieties of wildflowers that we usually don't see. Among them were Little Brown Jug, Lady Slipper, Jack-In-The-Pulpit, Dwarf Iris, Solomon Seal and Dog Hobble. Unfortunately some dummy left his GPS at home, so there aren't any maps or altitude graphs.
