Usually, I would prefer a mountain trail to a waterfall trial. BUT Hemlock Falls is an exception- it’s an easy and and relatively flat walk (no climbing back up afterwards!), with beautiful creek views along the way. I liked how the trail was wet from the water and covered in slippery roots. I was the only person on this trail in the early morning- the seclusion and misting at those little falls was refreshing! It’d be fun to visit when the water is warm enough for a dip.
*Not to be confused with Hemlock Falls at Cloudland Canyon!
