We were warned!
We went anyway.
But only as far as the suspension bridge 80 feet above Hurricane Falls.
With my fear of heights I could only go a few feet on the bridge. I did manage to see the top of Hurricane Falls.
I handed Henry the camera for some better pictures.
I took a picture of the falls from the stairs.
And one of Henry looking down from the bridge.
We posed for a selfie before starting back up to the top.
We made it back to the top after stopping at a few landings and resting on every bench.
Younger, braver, and more fit people can cross the bridge to the other side and go down 221 more stairs for a view of Hurricane Falls from the bottom. There is also access to the south rim trail on the other side of the bridge. For us, we are glad we made down and back all in one piece!

Gorgeous. 🙂 It doesn’t seem fair that by the time one retires it is also past the time when you can do some of these things in full. Makes me think of that old saying about youth is wasted on the young. 🙂

Thanks for these last two posts. We never knew about Hurricane Falls and the Tallulah Gorge. Now they’re marked on our big map of places we need to see.

What a rush! Me too, I have never done well with heights and bridges. That you went a bit on the bridge, good for you. The pictures are excellent, and tell me when you will forget that beautiful day at the bridge, falls and gorge?

Those stairs look daunting, but I’m guessing you’re glad you went as far as you did. Thanks for the heads-up!

Sandi, we are really glad we did. It really wasn’t as hard as I expected. Too bad I couldn’t bring myself to cross that suspension bridge!

This post just adds to my excitement about visiting this place in May!! While I am not a huge fan of suspension bridges, the views down and the ability to cross will make the jaunt worth it:) Thanks for sharing this neat place.
