This past Monday, my friend Jed and I hiked most of the way to the top of Crabtree Falls, in the George Washington National Forest.
(Click here to read about the layout of the falls, etc.) We had a great time! Here are some of the pictures I took on the hike.
Along the way, we stopped at a cave, which opened in the back as well. It had a natural chimney, and we could tell from the charred remains that somebody had taken advantage of it. Below is a picture of Jed in the cave.
Crabtree Falls is the highest (tallest) waterfall east of the Mississippi. This might look strange to you, from these pictures. But remember, this is the tallest...not the biggest. It's no Niagara, but the trail is a nice 2.2 mile round-trip hike, which takes longer than you might think, because of the steep incline. A nice hike.
Crabtree Falls is 1,200 feet high, and absolutely beautiful.
On the way back, we stopped at Harmony Presbyterian Church to admire its beautiful stonework. What a beautiful day to spend in the mountains!
