For this weekend, Team Waterfall reserved the group campsite along the Hospital Rock Trail at Jones Gap State Park, SC  We would use this as home base for our weekend adventures.

Our main goal for Saturday was to make it to Buck Hollow Falls.  Mission Accomplished!  Here are some of the photos from Saturday's Adventure!

We all made it back to the campsite safely after our hike and enjoyed an awesome evening around the campfire!

Sunday Morning after packing up camp, I decided to hike up to Rainbow Falls!  This is a well designed trail that gains about 1,200 feet of elevation over about 2.5 miles  (5.0 miles out and back)!
