That is awesome....and cold.
Those Pics are COOL.
Also, check out the South side of the road at Hog Pen Gap (GA) after a hard freeze. It is an ice climber hangout.

Thanks everyone. Glo-Worm, I had to research my notes, but I believe I saw you at Watauga Dam Rd with about 10 others that day. Hope your hike went well.
See you on the trail,

There are several easily accessible (by road and a short walk) falls that will freeze up on or near the AT, from Delaware Water Gap northward. I didn't realize that it would get cold enough, long enough, for falls to freeze in Tennessee. I think that it's a lot of fun to walk the AT in light snow on a sunny day with temperatures in the 20's (and not so much fun to slog through hip-deep snow in a light rain at 30 degrees, but it was only a day hike).

the same thing happens to looking glass falls in pisgah every so often, which is an even bigger waterfall with more drop-off. its an amazing thing to see.

Cool, (literally!). Crabtree Falls in VA was frozen also. We got a pic of it last weekend on our shakedown hike - its up on my trail journals site.

Woo-hoo. We had mid-thirties here in MA. Heat wave. Took a walk around the neighborhood, the first time in a couple of weeks.
Mt. Squid, how about telling us how it felt to take a dip in that fine swimming hole at the bottom of the falls.;):cool: Awesome pictures.:sun
Gosh, I'm from Maine. Do you mean to tell me some falls actually are made of water. I've only seen ice falls. It must be nice to live in a tropical place kike New York or Virginia where the falls are actually made of water. Once for a few weeks in August we did actually did have a short melt in our southern Maine rivers. ( great pictures Squid)

Ain't it nice during summer when the falls melt and the water warms up to 33°? :rolleyes: :sun
BTW, Nice pics squid - for a real challenge try climbing them.:cool:
