Summer Adventures: Waterfall Edition

TN Waterfalls- Burgess Falls
Around the beginning of May, I was doing research on outdoor activities and things to do around Tennessee so I could get used to being outdoors and actually enjoying nature haha. I found out there are a lot of waterfalls (12 to be exact) after coming across this blog post on 12thandbroad that listed pretty much every waterfall known in Tennessee and does a really good job at explaining how the trails are and what each hike trail is like. The one my boyfriend and I went to was semi- easy, and absolutely beautiful. It's a pretty easy hike- and this is coming from someone who doesn't like to hike or the outdoors very much but i'm trying to get used to it; We went on a pretty day that was about 75 so not too hot (so no sweat haha). The hike takes you on three different levels; one being just a normal walk with water views and leads you to the smaller falls that are just as pretty and a short hike to the highest lookout point where you can see the biggest waterfall (both falls pictured above). Once you reach the biggest waterfall you have the option to get on the very top and look down if you choose (scary but we did it anyway and totally worth it). There are stairs going down so you can get to the bottom of the waterfall and take pictures which was awesome, If you go I would definitely wear sneakers so you can climb around at the bottom so you don't slip on the rocks.  It was completely worth it and my summer plan is to atleast visit and see half of the waterfalls listed on the 12thandbroad website. 

Do you guys know any other outdoor ideas down south? If so, let me know in the comments so I can go on more adventures. :) 

Next stop is Cummins Falls!
