Pefect Time For A Waterfall Hike

Today's weather was perfect for hiking to area waterfalls. This time of year offers clear viewing of the cascading water while temperatures are comfortable, but have not warmed to levels that encourage a lot of insect activity. A couple of smaller falls were visited in Marion County before heading up to Foster Falls and a few other waterfalls in Grundy County. Hats off to everyone who has worked to improve the facilities at Foster Falls. The overlook boardwalk is outstanding and makes this impressive set of falls easily accessible to everyone. It has been a few years since my last visit to this fantastic area, so I was pleasantly surprised by the new additions. Many other people had the same idea to visit and we noted license plates from several other states in the lot. One couple commented about visiting Foster Falls this past summer and as I learned visiting Savage Gulf, the drought turned the falls completely OFF! Thanks to recent rainfall every waterfall was roaring today. Let's hope the rainfall is more steady the rest of spring and into summer.
