Exploring the Appalachian Highlands and Beyond
Exploring the Appalachian Highlands and Beyond
On Saturday, we got a big rainstorm. The first thought we have after a storm is “what waterfall should we do tomorrow?”. I love to do waterfalls after a rain, you’re almost guaranteed to have good flow, but you don’t have to worry about a slippery trail or flash flooding like you would the same day as a storm. Lower Higgins Creek Falls is a 60 foot waterfall and the short hike makes this one worth a visit.
Mount Rainier was the 14th National Park we have visited together, and WOW, did it surprise us! I love a park with prominent mountains, hard hikes, and constant views; Mount Rainier certainly delivered.
If you were to ask me for the best waterfall hike in the Appalachian Highlands, I would tell you Laurel Fork Falls.
