Hiking to the base of Great Falls at the Rock Island State Park, located on the Cumberland Plateau in Spencer, Tennessee, it seemed as if I’d entered into a rainforest of moss and water. However, this is a gorge wall along the Caney Fork waterway. Every surface area on site is very slippery, but, with caution, certainly worth the visit!
You can enjoy my photography on an empty wall in your home or at the office, or to give as a gift to family & friends, when you visit these galleries:

Trails are well kept and relatively easy, great for families and/or dogs. Generally, a quiet spot.
