Tullahoma Family Friendly Waterfall Day Trip

Posted on January 20, 2025 Written by Tracy Wimberly 2 Comments

Rutledge Falls at the base

Here’s a short family waterfall day trip to at least four waterfalls. The best time of the year to do this day trip is in the Spring to get the best water flow. Driving distance for this day trip is 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic. All of these waterfalls have extremely limited parking, so I’d… [Read More]

Fall 2021 – The Leaves are Changin’

Posted on October 7, 2021 Written by Walter Wimberly Leave a Comment

We’re just starting into fall, and here in North East Tennessee, we’re starting to see some of the leaves change. Of course, where they change, and how much they change depend upon a lot of different factors such as how far north you go, your elevation, and even things like rainfall over the past summer…. [Read More]

Blue Ridge Parkway/Maggie Valley Waterfall Day Trip

Upper Falls Graveyard Fields

Some of these waterfalls are older favorites of ours that we’ve visited several times, while others are new favorites. Each of these waterfalls is amazing. My five-year-old was able to do three of the five in one day. I’m pretty sure he would have been able to do the other two if we had been… [Read More]
