Today we once again traveled into the green hills of Kentucky; all around us is the Daniel Boone National Forest. We are headed to the State Park to see the Cumberland Falls and the Dupont Lodge…
It was a lovely lodge. Not as nice as the Grand Canyon North Rim Lodge, but still nice…
But before we could enjoy the lodge we walked 3/4 mile to the falls. The path was wet, but fairly easy; there is a 270′ elevation change walking down to the falls…
We could see the highway bridge over the Cumberland River far below…
The raging river was lapping over this walkway… There is about 10 times the normal water flow today due to melting snow up north and the recent rains locally… (thus, the muddy appearance…)
We finally arrived at the falls… They were great!
We went down below for a closer view…
Did you know that over 280 people die each year taking selfies in dangerous locations?
Further downstream we got a wider view…
And then it was time to walk back up… But by now we were even further down. We walked up 66 steps, then up the 270′ rise on the 3/4 mile path back up to the lodge…
And then we sat down…
Soon it was time for lunch…
The food was decent and the view was great!
We returned to the campground. We stopped along the way for Lynda to get her hair cut, and we took the truck to the local Chevy dealer for an oil change.
We had an “Open House” so that we could peak into all the other Airstreams; this gave way to Happy Hours…
And an enjoyable time was had by all…
