Crabtree Falls.

Much of the fun of hiking for me is being allowed the time to focus on the aspects of nature that get overlooked in the daily rush. Varieties of leaves, flower petals on the earthen floor, the strange nature of roots, the way the sunlight hits the trees - all of these things are there to be experienced, and there simply is rarely enough time in life to afford ourselves the luxury.

At the end of a mile-long hike, descending downward over rocks and roots that jut out of the ground, Crabtree Falls stands, waiting to make it all worth our while.
