Our lady hikers were at it again! This time we went waterfalling in DuPont State Forest in search of Hooker Falls, Triple Falls, and High Falls. The parking lot was crowded at this popular spot. We took our traditional selfie... ...and took off on the trail. We came to the first fork in the trail. We opted to take the Triple Falls Trail and immediately crossed a bridge. Of course we stopped on the bridge to take in the water view. And then we continued on the trail. I just love a beautiful trail through a forest. This trail ran alongside the water and the scenery along the trail was lovely. I’m sure this tree growing around a rock demonstrates a profound life lesson for us all! We continued on the trail, stopping often to enjoy a view. We continued on the trail... ...and came to this view of Triple Falls. We walked a little further up the trail... ...until we came to these steps leading to a better view of Triple Falls. Such a lovely series of three waterfalls! After enjoying Triple Falls we continued on the path to High Falls. Isn’t it delightful to see a 3-4’ deep stream with water so clear you can see the bottom? We lingered a bit and then we walked further up the trail again. We came to the base of High Falls and detoured from the main trail to have a look. We climbed over a log or two and crossed a few boulders to get the view below. We took a few pictures. But we wanted a closer view so we climbed through mud, logs, and boulders. We kept moving closer to the base of the falls. Several people crossed through the water to the rock directly at the base of the falls but we opted not to do so. Instead we returned to the main trail, continued on and were rewarded with another view of High Falls. We couldn’t resist a group selfie here with High Falls in the background. Further up the trail we came to Covered Bridge Trail which led us to a covered bridge at the top of High Falls. We hiked back down the trails almost to the parking lot where we took the path to Hooker Falls. Just a little ways down this trail and we were there. I turned around and saw Pam who was apparently giving us the ‘This hike is over’ signal. And since Pam plans all our hikes we decided we had better keep her happy so we returned to the car and drove on into Brevard to eat at Hawg Wild BBQ. Yummy! Are you ready to plan our next hike, Pam?
