Countryman Kill Falls from Winter Clove Inn
Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:21 pm
Last Saturday we planned on hiking to Huckleberry Point. But, before we headed up the road, we wanted to visit Plattekill Falls. We had receivede 6-to-7.5 inches of rain during the week. When we got down to Plattekill Falls, it was flowing quite well. That was when I discovered that I forgot my memory card in my camera.
Okay...time for Plan B. We headed back and picked up another camera. Now it was getting late, so we decided on hiking from Winter Clove Inn to Countryman Kill Falls. It is an easy 1-3/4 mile hike from the Inn to Countryman Kill Creek.
We stopped and took some pictures of the waterfalls, and then headed back.
Here are some pictures:
