We ended 2013 on the trail. Our last family hike of 2013 was a trip to Whitewater falls (lower). It was a little cold and we fought a some resistance in the morning from kids that would rather watch TV but we eventually were all loaded into the van and headed to Bad Creek.
It is hunting season right now so I wore my hat that says "please don't shoot me".
Crossing the Horse Pasture river.
Don't lose your way to the falls. Follow the blue blazes!
The trail markers seemed to be confused on how long this trail is. At each intersection along the trail the mileage to the falls increased.
After somewhere between 1.7 and 2 miles of hiking we reached the viewing platform and stopped for a snack.
This was also a chance to take our last family photo of 2013.
Along the hike out we discussed if there was any better way to spend the last day of 2013. The answers included being at Disney, playing Nintendo, camping, a board game marathon, and eating in restaurants. Although this hike didn't match anyone's ideal New Year's Eve we all still had a great time on the trail.
Now to get started on 2014.
