Snake lide2294 viewsAfter being flushed by RAT and Bol'dar, old Sneaky here, took an uncontrolled slide down to the bottom of Chestnut Falls, where I was, unfortunately, located.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.

Lower Panthertown Creek Falls2293 viewsThe hike to the lower falls is pretty easy until the turn off below The Great Wall, then there is nothing that can be called a trail, just a few faded ribbons and a few clips.

This 0.2 mile bushwhack through a recent controlled burn I would rate difficult for those not accustomed to Bushwhacking.

Hard To Miss2290 viewsCan you see th person in this photo? So many visitors were present that one can only Lightroom out so many.

Hills Creek Falls may be taller but, it can not possibly be more crowded with folks. I will be visiting Hills Creek with my handy dandy laser in the near future.

Big Falls2290 viewsMount Hardy Falls is measured at over 100 ft and even though it was a dry spell still had pretty good water.

This is a MST trail falls and is not hard to get to but, has some laurels and of course slick rocks.
