Post 18 - Bridal Veil, Dry and Glenn Creek Falls

We took a drive up to North Carolina to see Bridal Veil and Dry Falls. Recent flooding and subsequent erosion in the area have drastically diminished the water flow over Bridal Veil Falls leaving it to little more than a trickle. Cars were once allowed to drive behind the falls but the area has now been deemed too hazardous for such heavy weights.

Dry Falls is spectacular. Mason found every little nook and cranny he could crawl into, and of course my monkeys (even the big one) had to do some climbing.

Glenn Creek Falls was an unexpected detour. On our way home we saw a sign pointing it out and decided to give it a try. It was a beautiful downhill hike for about 1 mile to the base with a few water falls along the way. At the bottom we found a small standing pool of water where several frog eggs had been lain. Not a hike for the faint of hike, nor one to venture on without water (GASP)!
