Spring Break Adventure – Noccalula Falls

22nd March 2009

What a great trip this was!  Brian rode up to Gadsden, while the kids and I picked up donuts for our hour-long drive to meet him at Noccalula Falls Park.  It was a wonderful family adventure!

At dry points during the summer, there might not actually be a falls.  But we've had TONS of rain, and the water was impressive!

This tree was from the bottom of the gorge, growing all the way up to tower above the high viewing area.

Not the best picture of us, but it was fun to be under the waterfall!

We hiked down a steep set of stairs and a short trail to see the view under the falls.

This was a rocky area where you could climb down in and climb between the rocks.  Some tight squeezes...

Rocks to climb on, trains to ride, animals to see... what more could the kids want?
