Battle Creek Falls - June 4th

Mr. Tigger and I have decided to see more of the outdoors this year. We live by hundreds of beautiful hiking trails and want to take advantage of them while trying to give our kids a love of hiking and the outdoors. So we decided to try and go on a hike every Saturday that we have available while the weather is good.

To start our adventures we decided to hike Battle Creek Falls. It's about .8 miles up to the falls and we went a little farther so we probably did about a mile up and back, which is pretty good for my little Panda's short legs.

My little Panda (2 years old) did the entire hike by herself. She was forced to hold hands on the steep or slippery parts, but other than that it was all her. I was pretty impressed.

We had lunch above the falls next to the fast-moving river (you can see it if you look on the far right).

Due to all the rain the falls had a lot more flow than they usually do. This picture really doesn't do the falls justice; they were way bigger in person. This was about as close as I would get...that mist was freezing.

Overall it was a beautiful hike with a fun destination and our kids loved it.
