Kentucky Falls

Today was another beautiful day so the family headed outside for a hike. We decided to check out Kentucky Falls this time. The neat thing about these falls is that two different water sources produce the side by side falls. This hike is 4 miles round trip and is the longest one we have taken this summer. The girls did a great job; L had to be carried about half of it, but she was a trooper. K gave me a run for my money but we both finished the trip, though we were completely exhausted by the end and M hardly broke a sweat.

A view of the valley, isn't it gorgeous?

A green pond we found on our way.
M wants to come back to camp here sometime.

A bug we found on our car.
Not sure what it is, but it was pretty big.

Upper Kentucky Falls.

Closer to the falls.

Lower Kentucky Falls.

North Fork Smith River Falls.

Here is a picture of both falls. Each fall is created by
a different water source. The left is N. Fork Smith River Falls
and the right is Lower Kentucky Falls.

A peak M thought was cool looking.

K loved this view of the valley.
