Rainbow Falls - The Ascent

One of the highlights of this Fall Break was the opportunity for Skyler and I to hike together.  We decided to make a pilgrimage up to Rainbow Falls.

A 5.4 mile hike (round trip) that offers amazing views of La Conte Creek and the 80 foot drop known as Rainbow Falls - the highest Falls in the Smokies.

I have conquered this trail before and thought I knew what to expect.  Looking back - that was 15 years and 50 pounds ago.  It turned out to be more of ascent and even rockier than I remembered. That said,  Skyler and I both agreed, it was priceless.
