A trip that was not spearheaded by me for once! And a wonderful trip she was.
Me and The Boys took an overnight jaunt down to Cumberland Falls in the south of Kentucky to see the sights and get away from all of the terrible garbage that is reality at the moment and I gotta say, it was quite nice. After a two-and-some-change hour drive down, we checked into the hotel in Corbin, then set out for our adventure.
We picked a trail somewhere vaguely in the direction of Cumberland Falls to start out, but on the way there, passed a dam that looked interesting too, so we ended up making that our stop instead:
A hidden trail behind the dam led us to a smaller falls area, where the creek bed was fairly dry:
Next, we continued on our way to Cumberland Falls, and the timing worked out to give us a nice sunset backdrop when we arrived:
There was a visitor center and a few other little manmade doodads to see:
But the main attraction was of course the falls itself:
with its elegant mist.
We continued down the trail that ran along the river, which led to some overlooks:
and eventually, a beach:
and a buncha rocks:
We then headed back toward Corbin, to get some dinner and turn in for the evening.
The next morning, being a bit more ahead of schedule than we expected, we decided on our way out to at least make a stop at the biggest tourist attraction in Corbin, which is doubly closed right now, for both covid and renovation reasons:
