Took a trip out to see Sweet Creek Falls on this Memorial Day. I really would have liked to have gotten out there earlier in the day when the light was not so harsh but we got a late start and as I expected it was difficult to get a good exposure. Here are a few I took that turned out ok. We hiked from the Homestead trailhead up to the head of the falls. Round trip it was about 2.2 miles. The trail is very well maintained and follows along the creek passing by lots of smaller punch-bowl type falls and shaded by large big-leaf maple trees. At one point you walk on elevated platforms that are bolted into the side of the cliff. The kids really loved that part. The falls itself was really beautiful plunging into a deep wide bowl. There is an other spur trail that goes up to an overlook at the top of the falls. I really want to go back either early in the morning or late in the evening to catch the better light and photograph these falls. Lots of opportunities there. Until then you will have to endure these mediocre photos. They look the same but they are slightly different. I’m interested to know which one you prefer.
