Opossum Creek Falls Trail

A very nice fall day for this hike with cool temperatures and mostly clear skies. It had rained the day before which left a lot of slippery wet leaves on the trail in otherwise good shape. The rains fueled a very nice display at Opossum Creek Falls. We were also able to see through the trees, but not approach, Camp Branch Falls on our way down to the Chatooga River. Only one really nice display of wildflowers today with a beautiful deep lavender-blue Gentian along Camp Branch. The colorful leaves, both on and off the trees were notable, especially when touched by some of the sunlight shining through the remaining canopy. Overall, a fairly easy hike even though most of the return path was uphill.
