Day 5 (Mon Jun 27, 2011): BRP (Graveyard Fields)

Day's Summary: Graveyard Fields, then home.

Graveyard Fields: Hiking To Falls

Along the Blue Ridge Parkway, Graveyard Fields might be so named because of a windstorm that knocked down trees into gravelike configurations. Hiking to the Second Falls.

Graveyard Fields: Second Falls

This is Second Falls. Graveyard Fields contains three falls: Upper Falls, Second Falls, and Yellowstone Falls. Yellowstone Falls is downstream from here, unmarked on the trailhead map (near the parking lot) downstream, and apparently a little harder to reach.

View of Second Falls. I film a 360 degree panorama.

My pal Landon and I took some pictures and enjoyed the view.
