Trip North - Smoky Mtns - Deep Creek

April 11, 2019

Today we drive over to Deep Creek to hike the 3 Waterfalls trail
 Deep Creek is about a 25 min drive
 Looks like we found it.
 It is about a 2 mile loop to do all three falls
 Tom Branch Falls is first



Onward to Indian Creek Falls
 It's a beautiful wide trail along the Creek with bridges to cross

 Looks like they installed a stairmaster on the Indian Creek Falls
 Gary says he'll wait up top


But I talk him down.
 Trees are budding and spring flowers are starting to come out
 Along with some deer
 A local jogger talks us into doing the Loop Trail which will add 2.5 miles to our hike
 It goes up to the ridge and back down on the other side of the Creek


Every turn I hope is to the ridge
 Finally we get there
 When we get to the other side we run across a couple of ladies out for a ride.
 Only 1.2 miles to the 3rd Falls



Well worth the hike
Only a 1/2 mile hike left to the parking lot.

We made it!
