  • Pickens, SC – Hiking Trip – Day 5 – Falls Creek Waterfalls

    Our friends left early in the morning so it was just the three of us again. We opted for a hike to another waterfall – Falls Creek Waterfalls. It’s not the best name, but the waterfalls were, again, quite beautiful. Some of the trip reports for this hike suggested the trail was quite steep and…

  • Pickens, SC – Hiking Trip – Day 4 – Rainbow Falls

    Following the same pattern, we got up fairly early to do another hike – Rainbow Falls. This one was in the Jones Gap State Park, which does require a $6 parking fee per person (kids and seniors are less). The hike was to Rainbow Falls. Here’s the route: Per my watch, the route was 5.01…

  • Pickens, SC – Hiking Trip – Day 3 – Twin Falls Trail

  • Triple Falls Trail – Dupont Forest, North Carolina

    I was attending a conference in Asheville, NC, and had half of a day free.  Rather than stay cooped up in my hotel, and knowing there were hills in the area, myself and my colleagues, took a trip out to Dupont Forest to hike Triple Falls. We didn’t have a lot of time – just…

  • Oregon trip – day 4 – Sahalie and Koosah Falls in Willamette National Forest

    One of the other hikes I found online before I came out here was a hike in the Willamette National Forest that is a loop trail for the Sahalie and Koosah Falls.  I found a few other promising hikes for the Willamete National Forest, but time constraints meant I had to pick one that seemed…
