Catawba Falls is Back Open!!

Woohoo!!

After a loonnnngg few years of anticipation - one of the best swim-hole hikes in the Blue Ridge is BACK ON!

The trail reopened on May 30th and you better believe we already hit that ground running...

cheering...

and dancing with glee!

 

Dang, Mother Nature - you're looking GORGEOUS as ever.
And it's true what they say - absence makes the heart grow fonder.

 

And not only is the trail reopened, but they made it better - and now this epic swimming hole at the upper falls is much easier to access.

 

Because of THESE. They built out decks and stairs to help make the access easier. They also made the trail a loop so now we get to make a full circle in and out - which is always fun. I've never been much of a person who likes to back track - physically or metaphorically. Straight on ahead with constant diversity!

 

And a ramble about an epic trail wouldn't be complete with a jaw dropping view. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and in this case, this blog is basically a photo dump. There's not much one can say about a journey through stunning landscapes that leavs you speechless. So my best advice to you is -
GO HIT THOSE TRAILS RUNNING
and cheering
and dancing with glee!

 

Oh yeah, and hit us up if you want to go see some homes! ;) <3
