Tennessee Waterfalls: More Than You May Know
Tennessee waterfalls...Did you know that at the time of this writing there are well over 800 of them that have been documented and located in the volunteer state of Tennessee? Not all of them are monstrously huge, but many of them are, and all of them are beautiful in their own way.
Here is a map of the one's we've visited thus far and there's also a running list of them on the page below.
Where It All Began
Our long history of chasing waterfalls began in Tennessee. You see, the immediate area around Chattanooga is our home turf, our back yard so to speak. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it was teeming with great quality waterfall hikes and more beautiful vistas than one can count.
Well, the vistas and beauty of our area, I was aware of. After all, there is a reason Chattanooga is known as the "scenic city", but I had no idea about the tons of waterfalls close by, other than Ruby Falls which has become an area icon on par with Rock City Gardens in popularity, especially with the tourists.
But, I soon found out!
Tennessee Waterfalls: To Benton and Beyond!
Our first waterfall hike in Tennessee that we did together was Benton Falls. That one had me hooked. I confess, it was the beauty of the waterfall, but also the beauty of the woman and my intrigue with her that kept me coming back again and again to the scores of waterfalls we began to visit together.
I say "visit", but really every single fall and cascade was a unique experience. Yes, "experienced" is the more accurate term, because we were always fully immersed in these times. We were hyper present and in the moment. We still are...every time we get out among the rocks and the trees and the sky, we thoroughly enjoy God's gorgeous creation around us.
This is definitely the case from Benton Falls and beyond as we tour the many great waterfalls of Tennessee!
