Ravens' Cliff Falls







 

We recently got ourselves out for a hike in the woods again, baby and all.  Just across the border in South Carolina is a 400 foot waterfall called Ravens' Cliff Falls.  The flowers were out; Dwarf Iris and a ton of Toad Trillium along with Solomon's Seal, a type of orchid I didn't recognize, and lots more.  We saw a beautiful bright red bird we learned later was a Scarlet Tanager.
 
There was a very exciting river crossing that I didn't get pictures of because I was more concerned with Sienna making it across safely, but once we did that all was easy.  We did a 9-mile loop that included a great view of the falls, then a drop to the river, and back up the other side to cross a little draw bridge that goes over the top of the falls.
 
Sienna slept a lot of the way in the Ergo, and only got antsy the last mile so we took her out and carried her.  It was great to be outside together again!~
