Jackson Falls and Bakers Bluff in Winter





Jasmine:
Well, why we did not get invited on this trip to the Trace, I do not know. Nevertheless I will take a moment to share some pictures of a winter hike mom and dad took. They went back to Jackson Falls and Baker's Bluff overlook. With no leaves it looks cold and dead, but the water was rushing and the place had a different sort of beauty, at least that is what I am told.

Jackson:
I am glad we did not have to go out in the cold. I enjoyed my nap at home in the sunshine. But the water does look inviting...a nice cool drink would be nice. Remember that long hill? I bet mom and dad huffed and puffed while going up it! This was a great place and day for a winter hike, though, with the sun streaming through the branches of the trees. The sound of the water would have filled our ears, Jasmine, but I bet it would be ice cold...no swimming at this time of year.
Jasmine:
So true Jack. Well, I can't wait until we get to go out again and the leaves start coming out and flowers growing and lots to sniff.
