Looking to hike someeasy trails with my girls this summer.visiting from Florida and do not know the area well any suggestions?
Smalls Falls is easy, I go with my boys and dogs quite a bit and it never gets tiresome! Too cold to swim this weekend though, and since you’re from Florida you might want to bring jackets haha! I don’t know what area of the state you’re in, I’ve been to Angel Falls when I was little and Screw Auger Falls. I haven’t been in years but beautiful places from what I remember (especially Angel Falls, it was bigger) and I cant imagine they were tough trails because I was young. Hope you find what you’re looking for, good luck!
If you get to Smalls Falls, be sure to look for the face of the ‘Guardian of the Falls’.
