Burgess Falls

Made in the Shade Campground
Granville, TN

Today the weather was perfect!

Not a cloud in the sky and 

high 70's for temps.

The owner of the campground

suggested a nice drive for us.

We started out heading north

towards Gainesboro.

The fall colors still take my 

breath away.

We ended up in Cookeville,

and at Burgess Falls State Park.

There were some park rangers there,

and they were giving lessons on the

different kinds of trees that 

are native to Tennessee.

We had packed a picnic lunch,

so before starting our hike,

we sat and ate a quick bite.

Then..

it was off on the hike.

The trail led slowly down

into the gorge,

where there are a series of 3

waterfalls...

...and along the way..

A nice guy offered to take

our picture by the 2nd falls..

..then it started to get a

bit more strenuous..

as it climbed up the other ridge.

But it was worth the climb!

We talked to the most interesting gentleman, Jon,

taking pictures of the falls..

..he was giving us suggestions of things

to see in Nashville.

On the way back up to Granville,

we saw a sign for a place we just

had to stop in..

Del Monaco Winery

It had great wines,

with free tastings,

and not too bad on pricing!

It was the perfect end to the day!
