Abrams Falls Trail.
« on: August 21, 2013, 01:54:23 PM »
A moderate hike of 5 miles round trip. There are uphill sections both ways. Lots of roots and rocks to trip you up and the constant view of an amazingly fishy looking river make tripping a constant threat. Backpacker Magazine ranked this the 9th (out of ten) most dangerous day hikes in the US. Mainly due to the 29 drownings in the river. STAY AWAY FROM THE FALLS.

It starts off easy enough. This day the river was a little muddy from a recent rain storm that I though was over..... Not!

Uphill both ways. About 5 min into the hike out the bottom fell out. I had to stuff my camera into a Patagonia Atom bag and Run/fast walk the 2.5 miles out. About half of that it uphill... I was beat.

There is not much collective security in a flock of sheep on the way to the butcher.
