Tuesday Travels-My Trip to Bryson City NC "Carolina Bound Adventures" Hiking to the Waterfalls

I had been thinking about taking a short time to the mountains.  One day I was at home and I thought to myself it is time to stop thinking about it and just do it.  The plan was to spend 3 days in Bryson City NC.  My dilemma was that I love to explore but do I really trust myself alone on unknown mountain trails?  The answer to that is a definite no.  I was fortunate that I decided to go to Bryson City because in Bryson City they have a Concierge/Guide service that caters to those of us that don't feel comfortable doing the exploring on our own.  Carolina Bound Adventures

Here is a quote from their website

We'll use our area expertise to guide your way by making reservations for you or even offering fully guided Adventures.

They have so many adventures to choose from.  I decided to take the 1/2 day waterfall hike.

Below were my trusty guides, KK and Mark.  

Very nice and informative guides, I felt at home with them right away.

The trails were wide open and clear.  

You do have an uphill climb so it is a great workout.

We saw some beautiful butterflies and dragonflies.

I did wear bug spray for possible mosquitoes and ticks but I did not notice any.  

 The water was beautiful.  I wanted so badly to just jump in.  

Next time I go up I want to go tubing or rafting. 

The couple with us were on a double adventure.
A half-day of hiking and then after that fly fishing.

I am about 4.5 hours from Bryson City.  If I lived closer I would try to take all of their tours.

Here is a link to their tour menu.."Start Your Adventure Now"

Here are a few of the ones I would choose...

Sunset Hike

Wine Tour (they offer brewery tours also)

Kayak Tour of Fontana Lake

White Water Rafting-Guided Tour

Zip Lining

Horseback Riding

Jeep Tour

....and the list goes on and on.

They offer some lodging options as well.

I loved my day hiking with Mark and KK.  I would have never ventured out on my own so I am glad I found this wonderful service.  If you are in or near Bryson City I suggest you check them out.

Here is a short clip of a waterfall.  What a wonderful soothing sound.

Happy Travels and Adventures!
