Had an excellent day today chasing waterfalls down in the Leatherwood Wilderness . It was cold (40 degrees) and wet , but I saddled up and went anyway . We've had a huge amount of rainfall the last few days and I knew the falls would be roaring. They did not disappoint!

      I recently got back out into the woods again for some fall hiking. These are some pictures I took on the Indian Rock House loop trail in Buffalo Point Recreation area , near the Buffalo National River. At the end of the trail is a really cool cave , that has a small stream flowing out of the rock (a spring) and along a back wall , then back into the ground.  I can see why the Natives would have loved this cave !

 

It felt great to be out again.... there was some ice on the base of a waterfall I came across , and the air was very nice for hiking (about 40 degrees) .

Looking forward to more miles on the trails this winter !
