hope she didn't get hurt! [off camera] he's got dad jokes...
we're stephen and andie and we started a travel vlog back home in california at a
time when we couldn't really travel. hasn't been driven in a few years.
it gave us a great excuse to get out and see some things we've been putting off for way too long
now we're here in western north carolina. shortly after arriving
here we were alerted to the fact that the area is home to some impressive waterfalls
and three pretty awesome falls are right here in the dupont state recreational forest.
so if you follow us on instagram you've probably seen our recent stories of snow
but today we got an amazing almost 70 degree day so we're taking advantage and getting out
before it drops back down in the 40s. which it's going to do later this week. yeah.
smells so good out here. smells like wet forest. as we made our way to the first
waterfall we came along a creek that had some really weird noises coming out of it.
is that a bird or a frog? if you know please let us know because we couldn't see anything.
i have no idea what that is.
our first stop is hooker falls, the shortest of the three waterfalls it's also the widest
you guys there are over 250 waterfalls in transylvania county alone it's a perfect day for
it right i tried to find out how many waterfalls there are in north carolina in total because
there's gonna be like thousands maybe? i don't know. if you know leave it in the comments below.
from the same parking lot we could walk in the opposite direction to triple falls.
so this land was owned once by the dupont chemical company and it's not clear what they were using
it for but i kind of wonder if we drink the water are we gonna start glowing green? there's several
miles of trails that avid hikers can hike but if you're just looking for an easy hike and you want
to see the best waterfalls all three of them are just a short distance from parking and the street
the third waterfall of the day is called high falls it's a bit further from the parking lot
we were in for the first two so we drove to a closer lot, but all three could definitely be
walked to from either parking area if you're even just a little more ambitious than we are.
i think this is so beautiful in autumn the colors are probably amazing on all these trees.
so this place is practically a hollywood movie set. i know, i know we're from los
angeles - you get it. but triple falls- the one we were just at - and bridal veil falls,
which we're not going to today, were both used in the hunger games. in fact i think i
heard that about an hour or so away is a small town that served as district 12 in the movie,
which was katniss's home district so who knows maybe we can have that in a future
video let us know in the comments if that's something you want to see
most of the trails we're taking today are gravel and they're
rated easy to moderate as far as difficulty goes
so we just saw high falls from the bottom of the falls, now we're at the covered bridge at the
top - check it out! i'm so glad we got some good weather so we could come out and start
checking out the nature on this side of the country. yeah it's been amazing so far.
yeah. well you guys once again thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it.
give it a like if you liked those waterfalls as much as we did and we'll see you next time!
bye
