The Great Outdoors

We have the best hikes in the mountains that are literally only a short drive from us (about 15 minutes). We decided (on one of the few hot days that we have had this summer) that it was a perfect day to check out a new hike. We went and did two hikes for the day (a total of 6 miles). The first was to Franklin Falls and the second was to Slippery Slab.


Franklin Falls



Slippery Slab is one of the coolest places to go...especially on a hot day. It is about 1.5 miles each way (1 mile vertical) but the river runs over these huge rocks and they create big "slabs" that you can sit on, lay out on, or even slide down like a water slide. The water is freezing, but is well worth the hike.



Wade is cooling off in the 95 degree weather....the advantages of having no hair...
