An early drive to #GorgesStatePark in Western #NC, and a #hike to #RainbowFalls. Only about a mile and a half out, but about 900ft up, and (at least for the way back) rainy, muddy and slippery.

What a gorgeous, roaring falls it was, too. We've been here before but I have no memory of it from march 2020, right when the pandemic was kicking off.

We saw a big bear while driving in, and found a pavilion with picnic tables for our post-hike breakfast, out of the rain.
