Today's was to be a strenuous 6 miler up to the Overrun waterfalls according to our freindly ranger at the visitor center. Gave me a map and showed me the lower and upper falls locations. Well...the hike was easy if anything, not sure how they rate the difficulty of the side trails, but this trail did not even get me to sweat. The lower falls were not really falls at all, just a place where the crick crossed the trail and had to go over maybe a two foot rock......went on to the upper falls and they too were a disappointment. Should have been 93 feet, and maybe they were, but not too impressive. The falls were mostly overgrown with tree foliage, so you could not see much of them and the picture did not come out very good. Well that's the end of hiking on the AT this year, but .........I am sure we'll get a chance to do some day hikes in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone parks and along the way. Now Hike'n C.A. Bear will have to take a backseat to Bikely Beau in a few weeks when we start the x country bike ride.
