By Saturday night we were toasting at 45 degrees. I was with the local hiking club from Charlotte, the Carolina Berg Wanderers. Although it wasn't Smokies hiking, anywhere this group goes is a great and I needed some fellowship time. I was planning a side trip to hike Mt. Cammerer in the Smokies today, but road conditions kept me from getting there last night.<BR/><BR/>Here is a link to Laurel Falls: http://www.waterfall-picture-guide.com/laurel-falls.html.<BR/><BR/>I will have my own report posted on www.smokyscout.blogspot.com sometime this week.<BR/><BR/>If you want to see photos before then, you can look at http://hiking.meetup.com/323/photos/521631/smoky scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142614926628949343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651656564842797172.post-16389703027254627972009-01-19T09:29:00.000-05:002009-01-19T09:29:00.000-05:00Smoky Scout - based on your comment, I would assum...Smoky Scout - based on your comment, I would assume that the Kincora Hostel doesn't have any heat. Must have been a rough night.<BR/><BR/>Also, I take it there must be a falls in Cherokee called Laurel Falls - I wasn't aware of that. I went over to your site to see if you posted any pictures of the frozen falls. I would love to see any if you have any.<BR/><BR/>Just curious, how come you weren't hiking in the Smokies?The Smoky Mountain Hikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019731497259511008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651656564842797172.post-90952937291587859632009-01-18T16:54:00.000-05:002009-01-18T16:54:00.000-05:00Just so happens I was in Cherokee National Forest ...Just so happens I was in Cherokee National Forest this weekend, doing a little bit of the AT to Kincora Hostel. The temperature Friday night went down to -8 degrees! Laurel Falls was mostly frozen, a rare sight, and just stunning.
