Pearlie hit two personal records on the trail today.  She hiked a total of 13.5 miles in a day (PR) and took her longest single hike at 9 miles (PR).  This all took place in an area I had no idea existed, the Virgin Falls Natural Area.  Two of the most impressive falls on one trail.

Crossing the Stream

Virgin Falls originates from caves in the hills (see last photo) and then falls an impressive distance to a small pool below, then returns back to the caves.  Really cool!  As one gentleman stated on the trail, it’s better than shopping.
