	Fall Kicks In

Posted by: cbcalvin, 03:53 PM GMT am 20. Oktober 2009

	Rainbow Falls Hike

Posted by: cbcalvin, 07:36 PM GMT am 05. Juli 2009

July 4th was an ideal day for a hike. Sunny, not too warm, low humidity, light breeze, scattered clouds. My son, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's father, girlfriend's brother, and I went on the 2.5 Km (1.6 mi) hike to Rainbow Falls in Jones Gap. The trail is clear and mildly strenuous. There is about a 300 m (1000) foot rise in the last 1.5 Km (1 mi) of the trail. The falls are about 30 m (100 ft) high. About 4 hours including a snack at the falls and short sw...
