Apple Orchard Falls
Jul 07
Today the skies were very clear and temperatures hovered around 80. Jack had to work today so mom and I headed to Sharp Top Mountain to hike down the Apple Orchard Falls trail. The hike was all down hill, from certain segments of the trail you could see a tiny brook trickling down the mountain, the farther we hiked down the larger and louder the brook grew. The pathway was rocky and wrapped down the side of the mountain like a snake wrapping around a tree or its prey. Roughly half way down we came upon a large ledge cave, I was curious to see what was inside, when I got near the entrance mom thought that it would be funny to roar like a bear… I jumped but continued on to see what was inside- thankfully the cave was too small for a bear.
When we reached our destination I was surprised to see how large the waterfall was, it must be 150-180′ high. I climbed up to explore the waterfall and to cool off.

That’s a tiny waterfall, but still nice none-the-less.
