… the Sipsey Wilderness, that is, in the Bankhead National Forest. Here are a few pictures from our very long hikes:

The Sipsey Wilderness is one of the only places in the Southeast where the Eastern Hemlock grows.

Notice the river rocks that are a part of this rock, as well as the leaf prints and the piece of petrified wood. This was located at the base of this massive stack:

The Sipsey is renowned for it’s high number of impressive waterfalls. This is one we visited:

Overall, except for a few blisters and sore feet, one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. I can’t wait for our next adventure!

Now for Christmas…

There is joy on this journey, on my way home to my Father’s house,
