This was such a fun experience for me. Miss Sassy and I were not prepared at all- both of us wearing tevas. But we are always up for a spontaneous adventure! A steep verticle climb up, we made it to the top. The falls were beautiful with sun shining through the water. Climbing down was a bit difficult though. Miss Sassy had a nasty fall down a slick rock which knocked my feet out from under me, causing me to land on her. She decided to loose the sandals and hike the rest barefoot. Moments later, I trip over a boulder and fall head first onto another rock.
Several bruises, insect bites, and a swollen ankle but it was all worth it. Can't wait to bring the pops!
"The entire area between Newfound Gap Road and Fort Harry is one large boulder field through which a small stream runs directly from the cliff. Many paths zigzag through the field but no single trail leads up to Fort Harry. The best course is to cross to the right side of the stream and proceed up the slope either by scrambling or picking a way through the boulders. Away from the stream, the boulders are less concentrated and the hiking is a bit easier. Fort Harry is only about a quarter mile away..."
