Happy New Year everyone! I hope it was both a safe and joyous holiday! For me it was fun and then it was quite busy as I headed down to Southern Kentucky near Cumberland Falls to grab some shots for a few last minute touches on a project that needed to be turned in yesterday. My goal was to visit a few falls I'd not visited before and to revisit a couple I'd not gotten photographs of that I was satisfied with, so our first visit was to the Bark Camp Creek Cascades in the Daniel Boone National Forest, a place I had never been to. Located a short distance upstream from where the creek meets the Cumberland River, the water drops over several shelves before passing through a boulder strewn watershed and into the river. Just as the creek meets the boulders the remnants of an old bridge remains that was once part of the The Sheltowee Trace National Trail. I was really glad we chose to arrive early Saturday as that night it was forecasted to rain, and rain heavily, so we felt visiting the cascades with lower waterflow would be best, and boy was it. With perfect weather conditions as well as waterflow we couldn't have asked for any better and a fairly comfortable 1.4 mile round trip hike really topped it off!
