Ocoee Land: Little piece of paradise

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to spend two days running the Ocoee in a Shredder. Look it up, it’s one hell of a ride!  Afterwards I had a day to get back home and I wanted to get a short hike in.  I stopped by the Cherokee National Forest Ranger Station and met a super cool lady at the desk.  She shared great stories of her time around the Ocoee River and recommended a hike nearby that was just under 4 miles with two beautiful waterfalls.

It was perfect for what I wanted to do, in the short time I had.  I got to run, hike, scramble, and play in the water at the falls.  Bonus – I had it all to myself!  So for just a couple hours I had a piece of the forest, a little piece of paradise, all to myself.

I’ve been overwhelmingly vague at best about the location of this hike.  One of the reason’s this hike was so great was that the only plan I had was to go somewhere I had never been.  So get out there and explore a piece of the forest you don’t know and create your own adventure.  That, in and of itself is half the fun.
