Margarette Falls

Stocton and I went to Margarette Falls in the Cherokee National Forest near Greeneville on Tuesday.  It was the first time either one of us had ever been there.  It was a really nice short hike.  It was only about a 1.2 mile hike in to the falls.  The first part of the hike followed a gravel path but the majority followed the West Fork of Dry Creek (the creek wasn't really dry) so it felt a little longer.  We also tried to climb up above the falls a little ways looking for Bailey Falls but weren't sure where we were going because there was no trail so we turned around and headed down.  I would recommend anyone go see the 50' cascading waterfall.  It was a relatively easy hike and many smaller falls and cascades along the trails that make it a great hike.  Here are some pics:
