Last week, Wendy and I decided to head
back to Battle Creek Falls. Both of us were awake SUPER early, so we just decided to head out. Well, we didn't factor in that it's darker later now! haha We waited until it was 30 minutes prior to civil twilight and we decided to head out. It was super dark, like need a flashlight dark. It was a little spooky to be walking around, but we had our vicious attack dog with us. When we reached the falls, we could see them, but this is what my camera captured:
Finally it started to lighten up. I had read somewhere that if you continue past the falls, there's a second set of falls. We decided to keep going, not knowing how much farther it was.
Well, it turns out, they aren't far at all! It's not a huge waterfall but they are so pretty and peaceful. It got lighter and lighter as we were enjoying it and so we finally could get some pics.
Dark selfie!
We could see Battle Creek falls much better when we came back down to them!
The hike down to the falls looks super steep and treacherous when you hike up to the top of the falls. I was feeling brave and decided to head down. As I started, I realized it wasn't bad at all! So, Wendy came down too. It was so fun to see them from the bottom!
Even though we started out super early, it was a great hike. The best part was that we saw NO other people! We always like just hiking on our own.
Changing leaves:
The hike also seemed much easier this time! Part of that is because it was our first hike last time. Plus, I think we're in better shape! It's always fun to feel a difference and be able to compare.
Zipsie did great too
The views were of course spectacular on the way down! (Things always look better after you've accomplished something, right?)
Once again, I recommend this hike. It's pretty, not difficult, and short!
