The original plan was for Jason, Randy and myself to travel the 23 miles north of Blackwater Falls State Park into Maryland and check out Swallow Falls State Park a park which has 4 waterfalls in a short distance of one another, but sadly due to Jason's injuries he stayed behind at our home base and Randy and I made the trip. It was a good thing that Jason did stay behind as he probably wouldn't have made the round trip hike. Hopefully we can make it back next spring and he can give another go at it.
The park itself is gorgeous, massive old growth hemlocks line the trail that meanders past all four falls. This was the third falls we came across and from the front isn't an impressive sight as it is only 8 ft. tall and river wide, but when I walked up to this spot where Randy was already shooting, I commented to him how much cooler of a perspective this angle of the falls was than the others that had presented themselves.
