Hiking down to the small waterfall and then climbing back up was only about 600 meters, but it felt surprisingly exhausting. Still, the waterfall itself was very soothing and enjoyable.

Spring break is over, but spring isn’t. We kicked things off with a hike to Cane Creek Falls. It’s about a 2-hour drive from school, and there are plenty of things to do nearby, including camping, kayaking, fishing, and gatherings. Nashville has many natural trails like this, so if you love the outdoors, don’t miss it 🤗!
