In my previous blog entry I remarked how wonderful it is that there are so many waterfalls around us in this part of the Blue Ridge Mountains that we can basically just listen for them as we drive and find falls that aren't on the map. Well, for falls that are on the map, we can plan to visit one (or two or three) while en route to another. That's how we chose our next stop, Slick Rock Falls.
"Not worth going," the opinionated forest volunteer we spoke to yesterday told us. "It's almost dry." But Slick Rock was right on the route to another falls she had recommended and it was only a hike of a few hundred yards. We decided to visit anyway.
Once again, as with some of the falls we've visited this trip, water flow was light. But it was still totally worth the slight detour to spend a while enjoying this scene.
In beauty I walk.
