Rocky Knobs Selfie with Andy


I joined Andy on a hike to Rocky Knobs and Narrow Rock Ridge. 

Since I was ahead of schedule as usual I decided to stop off a Whitewater Falls along the way.

Even at 8:00am in the morning, the Whitewater Falls overlook were full of tourists and photographers.  People with tri-pods were waiting in line for the prime spots, so I just settled for a few quick cell phone shots.

For our main hike to Rocky Knobs and Narrow Rock Ridge we did not see a single other human!

The Fall Color was not as good as we were hoping, but the views were still awesome!

We also did a little off trail exploring and discovered a new Waterfall which we are calling Zeta Falls.

I give Andy full credit for this one and offered him naming rights!  He chose Zeta Falls after the recent hurricane that supplied Bearcamp Creek with enough flow to make it well worth the bushwhack and short scramble.  

It was a beautiful day and the perfect hike for catching up with my friend Andy!
