Day 3 in NC.

This was going to be an off day... But we got itchy and drove down to the DuPont State Forest to view the waterfalls with the rest of the Memorial Day Weekend masses. As with most trails, the farther you got from the parking lot, the thinner the crowds.

Wide paths, cut through old growth forest and more elevation than I expected.

Triple Falls and High Falls were my favorites, with Grassy Falls nice because of the lack of crowds.

Hooker Falls, a flat 4/10 of a mile from the parking lot, was a zoo.

A very pretty area, with tons more trails, best viewed weekdays or off season.
