Cool Mountain 2177 viewsWhen looking at my camera download for Dugger I discovered little sprays and jets from beneath the rocks that were not that visible with the eye.

It was 72^ F when I left the parking lot but, 101^F when I arrived in Charlotte.

Cascades plunge2119 viewsUpper Creek Falls is located just off NC 181 about halfway down the mountain between Linville and Morganton.

Definately worth the drive fron Tennessee. The "Lower" part is lots of cascades followed by the Big Falls above.

The hiking family2106 viewsThe longer I hike the more I realize the scope of the hiking family.

I am about forty miles from home and find a friend from church.

He showed us how to go up the right side of the falls, safely, and complete the trail loop. He is a through hiker of the AT.
