A Little Sun

All the rain we had made Hell's Hollow Falls all the more dramatic. McConnells Mill State Park.

Melting

My middle daughter and I finally managed to hike down to Hell's Hollow Falls today. It is finally starting to warm up enough that some of the snow is melting.

I haven't posted a photo of Hell's Hollow Falls in some time.

Remembering a Summer Walk

Right now everyone is fighting colds but at least the kids are recovering.

Stinging Nettles at Hell's Falls

As the trail winds down to Hell's Hollow Falls, you can view this small waterfall before the main 'drop' which is right outside the frame of the photo. A Stinging Nettle and few Wild Ginger plants are growing next to the tree.

My oldest and I managed to see Harry Potter in between the flat tires, birthdays, teething babies, over-energetic kids, school shopping and the general craziness of the weekends anymore. We both enjoyed it... except for the flat tire part.

A shot of the exposed roots of the tree that grows right next to the falls. It is not hard to miss, since it is the first thing you see after climbing down the stairs from the path above.

Hell's Hollow Falls

Today we hiked the Hell's Hollow Trail in McConnells Mill, or 'the Mill' for short. After a week of raining off and on, the falls were quite nice with all the extra water.
