There's always time to stop for a view at an overlook.
We were leaving the waterfall to continue our hike when Ali spotted a rattlesnake ahead on the trail.
Fortunately, it was intent on crossing the trail and moving on. Nine rattles and a button is about halfway to a large rattler. This one is on the way to becoming a large snake.
The hike was filled with falls and sluices, but the water wasn't the entire story of the day's journey. The trails were filled with nice rock formations.
We spotted this very large jack-in-the-pulpit just off the trail.
We had finished much of our day's hiking and were back on the AT when we were totally surprised by the sight of many lady slippers along the trail. It was odd that we were so excited over seeing dozens of these wonderful orchids while many people walked past us oblivious to the beauty.
The week's sunsets were putting on quite a show.
