⛰️The Mountain Waterfall Trail that Reopened After 2 Years and Then Damaged by Hurricane Helene 🏞️

The mountain waterfall trail that reopened after 2 long years but then damaged by Hurricane Helene

Catawba Falls is an easy hike with a stunning waterfall in North Carolina, and it’s open to the general public after a long hiatus though flood waters destroyed some improvements.

The Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina have a wide range of trails that lead visitors to various wonders. From old-growth forests to unique outcroppings and spectacular views, the wonders of the mountains are usually only a good hike away........
