We met at one of our regular spots and then carpooled the 40 minutes to Foster Falls. Our hike leader had it planned so that we would hike down to the beautiful falls and spend a few minutes enjoying the incredible scenery there. The 13 hikers then began hiking along the lower trail this trail is kind of rugged but beautiful. After a slow 1.5 miles we found a trail leading up to the upper segment of the hike. This is where the hike definitely became moderate. It wasn't a long section, but it taxed everyone as we had to climb upward over many rocks. We then reached the upper segment and continued westward to a beautiful overlook where we rested and had our snack. We then back tracked to where we had climbed up and continued on the upper segment back to the parking lot. By then we were all tired and hot. We had a lunch spot picked out in Tiftonia but unfortunately it was closed so we chose an unfamiliar restaurant across the street. The food there was OK but certainly not spectacular. All in all we had a great morning.
