Abrams Falls

Abrams Falls

Went to visit my sister in Rockford Tn. a couple of weeks back. Just 30 short minutes to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So I could not resist going for a hike. Cades Cove is a lovely area with a one way loop road with great views of the mountains, open fields and wildlife.






Abrams falls was a 2.5 mile hike over two ridges before descending to the falls. When you reach the bottom you are well rewarded with the view of the falls. Not many people on the trail this time of year but I can imagine what it is like in the spring and summer. After the hike I continued on the loop road which is approximately 13 miles around. This is a beautiful place and can't wait to go back to explore more trails and waterfalls. Above are a few pics from my adventure.
