Cascade Falls

Today I went to Cascade Falls in Giles County, VA with a group of classmates. It was a great hike up to the waterfall, beautiful scenery the whole way. I have, however, decided that a 4 mile hike while still recovering from the flu, not yet acclimated to mountain air (having lived my whole life at sea level), and with bad knees and no knee braces, is NOT the best idea I have ever had. But we had a lot of fun, and I would definitely do it all over again.

Here are a few select images from the day:

The guys minus Caleb.

The beautiful waterfall at the end of the trail. (I couldn't figure out how to rotate this picture in blogger, suggestions?)

Another view...

Relaxing at the waterfall pool.

Unfortunately, my camera batteries died once we got to the waterfall, so I have no pictures of the adventurous hike back to the car in the rain.
