Us at Middle Falls of Hills Creek -6/25/14 (45 feet high) |
You know that we can NEVER go on a trip without checking out some waterfalls... This time we visited the Falls of Hills Creek in the Monongahela National Forest area of West Virginia (on 6/25/14). Hope you enjoy the photos today. Be sure to click on them for enlargements.

Beautiful Trail to visit the waterfalls |

Me on one of the series of steps down to the waterfalls |
Like the steps I showed you in my blog post from Grandview, someone VERY SMART and CREATIVE has done a fantastic job of building these steps and platforms... I read that there were about 400 steps down, which means that there were 400 steps BACK UP (Pant Pant).... ha
But the area was so beautiful all around us... I would recommend these waterfalls to ALL of you---and even though there were alot of steps, there were places to stop and rest if needed along the way... It was a VERY nice area/trail....

Are you hearing her saying to him: "Wait for me"...... OR is he saying to her: "Wait for me... You are moving too fast!!" Hmmmmmm---I wonder!!!!! ha ha |
|
Who is that peaking over the edge??? |
Once we got down to Middle Falls, we had to go down a series of METAL steps in order to get to the bottom platform..
|
Middle Falls (45 feet); This is my 'attempt' to take a fancy photo like my hubby does. His are MUCH better --but this one is okay I guess. |

George heading down to the bottom platform at Lower Falls |
When we got down to the area where we could see Lower Falls, guess what we found???? YES---it was another set of steps DOWN......
|
See her --way up there? She is asking George: "Can we take the elevator back up?" ha ha |
See what a fantastic job they did of building all of these steps and platforms. Wow---we were impressed.
