Twin falls were flowing Saturday.

Have you seen these two falls flowing at Ferne Clyffe State Park before? It was a first for us. We also spotted lots of other falls along the trail.

Snowy waterfalls at Burden Falls Wilderness.

Burden falls is a great waterfall stop for so many reason. Want to see a waterfall from the parking lot? Then this one is for you. Not able to do long hikes, then the upper falls will be a quick stop to add to your list. Looking for a little more challenge, then hike on down to see the lower falls (no pictures of the lower falls in this post).
