Easy Waterfalls to Hike To
Easy hikes are known for being generally flat with only a few up/down sections. They are generally maintained trails that don't have many obstacles.

Ruby Falls was discovered over 1,120 feet below the surface of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, TN in 1928 by Leo Lambert and… [Read More]
