Little Switzerland!


The fam at Linville Falls

Last week our family went to Little Switzerland, NC and had an amazing time! We hiked to four different waterfalls and all were so different and amazing!

On the river near Chimney Rock

The first day we went to Chimney Rock. We had a great time hiking and seeing the sights!

Only some of us hiked to the waterfall at Chimney Rock. It's a huge drop off with a good amount of water.

That evening we went to Young's Mountain Music. It was a hoot! You get the best of North Carolina's Mountain music in a hall that changes bands about every 10 min. It also offers dancing to anyone who'd like to get up and strut their stuff. The average age of attendees is about 80. We had a ball!

The next day we went to Linville Falls. We had a great time hiking above and down to the bottom of the falls.

On Monday we went to an apple orchard, gem mining and we hiked to Roaring Fork Falls. This day I used my video camera to take pictures and I am still learning how to upload those so no pictures for that day.

On Tuesday we hiked Crabtree Falls, about a 3 mile hike with a beautiful waterfall in between.

I don't know if I could say which waterfall was the best, they were all so unique and beautiful! If you ever think of taking a waterfall trip, I highly recommend the book "North Carolina Waterfalls" by Kevin Adams. It's very detailed and was a great resource. Thanks to my friend Sarah for loaning it to us!
