On the way back up the trail we stumbled upon this cute
little patch of mushrooms.

Coming up next...Dale Hollow lake!

Makes you wonder how those huge boulders ended up like
that.


Terry had the idea for this shot. I love it!


I wanted to stand under this waterfall so bad!


Absolutely gorgeous!

More Pics From Caney Fork River Gorge

The landscape of the Caney Fork River gorge. Lots of'
huge boulders and beautiful ferns and flora.


In recent years, Rock Island State Park has become popular
with kayakers, who use the river for playboating. Below Great
Falls Dam is a series of rapids with a well-known, constant,
retentive "hole" that allows playboaters to hone their whitewater
kayaking skills, riding the wave, spinning, rolling and performing
other tricks.

Check out this link for a pretty cool animation of kayaking on the
river: http://www.pbase.com/cavertim/image/110851905


Small waterfall trickling down thick ferns on the side of
the bluff.


Mini waterfall. Isn't it cute?


I would love to see this place after all the rain
we've had in the past couple of weeks!

Rock Island...Caney Fork River Gorge

Terry on the rugged trail leading to the Caney
Fork River gorge. I'm glad I wore my Reeboks
on this trip!!


Gnarly tree roots on the trail. This was one
of the most rugged, wild trails I've ever been
on, but well worth it for what was to come.


Caney Fork River and one of the many waterfalls in the
gorge area.


This picture speaks for itself.




Twin Falls. These falls were a lot further down
the trail, but we decided to admire it from afar.
