The hiking family2384 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.

Cascades plunge2382 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.
