Clifty Falls Hike


It was a hot and muggy day but we had a great time at Clifty Falls! Oh, how we sweat! We had frequent stops especially coming out of the canyon. We would call ourselves the 3 bumps on a log etc. Believe them when they identify a trail as being rugged or very rugged, especially if it says "long steep grade in and out of the canyon"! We went on trail 7 and trail 2. Well, we were actually on parts of trail 1, 3, 4, and 8 at some point. The directional signs were very confusing but we had fun and ended up in places we hadn't planned on! I think we hiked a total of 4 hours. We did trail 7 first, pigged out at the buffet in the Inn and then hit the creek bed trail. I am so glad I have found some single Christian friends who like to hike. That is one thing I have missed here in Indiana. We haven't decided which state park we will tackle next. I am going to try to paste in a short movie clip as well as the slide show

Well, I tried uploading a movie clip but it either didn't work or I didn't wait long enough-I do think 5 minutes is long enough for a 30 secs movie clip! So, I will try to insert the 3 photos of the Ohio River from the Inn veranda that I "stitched" into a panoramic view. For some reason I can not get the picture at the top of the post down here, it just won't drag! I'm going to bed.

You have more git-up-go than I do girl! Glad you are enjoying your hiking. I think I might wait until a little cooler weather though...

I've heard that they have a beautiful restaurant at Clifty Falls. It's on my "want to go there" list!

The Clifty Inn is definately beautiful, food was good. Probably better on weekends than during the week.
