Happy Thankful Thursday!
EDIT: I am linking up with Favorite Fotos thanks to Lydia at Where the Wild Things Were
These are some images from our road trip, more from the Cumberland Falls Resort State Park. We spend one night and two days at the park. On this day we hiked to the Eagle Falls, located down river from the Cumberland Falls.
The trail to Eagle Falls is across the river from the Cumberland Falls trail. See my previous post for the Cumberland Falls.

It was a pretty sky day.

This is the Eagle Falls, a harder hike than the easy Cumberland Falls trail.
The Eagle Falls was pretty.
The Eagle Falls trail had a lot of boulders around the river.

I am thankful for the first trail blazers, they make it easier for me to hike the trails.
I am thankful to see pretty puffy white clouds and a blue sky!
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.

Eileen, I am very sorry to hear about your friend Luiz. Though I didn't know him, I think he would have loved these photos of the waterfalls.
I am sure you must be fit as a fiddle after all the walking you did on your trip!
...wow, another gorgeous spot.
Pude ver verdadeiras MARAVILHAS aqui! Só podemos agradecer! bjs, chica
I am so sorry about your loss. Let him rest in peace. I am really sorry. Very beautiful post, very beautiful place. I am so thankful for my loved ones, for health, good food, passions I have.
Will pray for your friend and his family and you.
Big hugs for you. <3
I can't believe how the falls have stayed the same, they are just like I remember them, the falls and that wonderful creek/river.. so beautiful. I would like to see this again
Perhaps it was difficult to go, but it was worth it. The views are pretty and there are waterfalls that I love. Regards.
Sorry to hear about the death of your friend Luis . . .
The Falls looks beautiful . . .
I for one, like all the rocks, stones, boulders.
Sweet song of the sparrow is a treet too . . .
Wow
I wanna go. I wanna go.
...
are we there yet
My condolences to Luis's family.
When I visited I didn't walk on the other side of the river, I was headed to Canada and had 21 days to do it...looks like I missed a good hike! Really nice shots and the sparrow a bonus!
Those waterfalls are beautiful. I can only imagine how lovely it SOUNDS as you walk along the trail.
I'm sorry to hear of the death of your blog friend. They leave a bit of a hole in our hearts when they depart but I know he would have loved these beautiful images as much as I do.
Condolences to you and Luis' family and friends. I'm living with loss these days too. That river and falls and hikes look so lovely, I really am glad you shared such beautiful photos.
I'm sorry about his death too and will keep his family in my prayers. Love your pics...I agree with Mac! I wanna go too!
When one sees the sign to portage, it means it quick. Love that 1st shot
Beautiful waterfalls!
I was not familiar with Luiz.
Beautiful country. One can only wonder what the history of the river and formation would be.
Hello,
I'm so sorry about the loss of your blogfriend!
Very nice trip you made. Beautiful images and waterfalls!
Happy Thursday!
That was one hike which we did years ago (maybe about 2004 or sooner)--which I will never forget.... It was an extremely hot day (almost 100 degrees) --and we weren't prepared for that hike.. Didn't have water with us; just thought it was an easy hike (which it wasn't).... We made it to Eagle Falls --but neither of us felt very good... On our hike back up and out---George passed out... Some people helped us by giving us water... Someone called 911 ---and we sat until help came... By that time, George was awake and doing okay (other than being weak)... They wanted to put him on a stretcher --but he refused. SO---he walked out of there with those helpers all around him. I followed behind... When we got to the bottom --they made him get into their ambulance/rescue vehicle --and he got all of his stats done... He was fine by then... I think they said that his blood sugar had dropped too low (he doesn't have Diabetes) and that is what caused him to faint.... Scared me to death!!! After all of that, we went to dinner at the lodge.... BUT--needless to say, we were NEVER unprepared for a hike again--and something like that has never happened since that time...
Hugs,
Betsy
I'm thankful for you taking us along on your adventures, Eileen!
Beautiful scenery Eileen, wonderful falls.
Only thing missing is the sound of the falls! Lovely.
So sorry to read about your blog-friend Luiz, prayers and thoughts for his family.
That is a super view of the river from the Eagle Falls trail.
I enjoyed seeing all of your photographs.
Wishing you a happy Friday and a good weekend too.
All the best Jan
Looks like a wonderful hike, and you captured some really gorgeous photos (helped out by that incredible sky!!). Love that shot of the river from the Eagle Falls trail.
Stunning photography
Spectacular water shots..I would love to find some falls near here..I guess I'd better get in the car and go down Rt 15 !! Too hot now..Thanks for sharing those lovely pictures..Nice Song Sparrow shot!!
Great photos! I would love to walk that trail!
Although I didn't know Luis, my condolences to his family and friends.
You are presenting a fantastic series today, Eileen. I've enjoyed it from the beginning till the end. Specially the shots of the river and the falls are wonderful.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Beautiful weather for your hike. Lots of great pictures for us to enjoy.
Beautiful post Eileen. Great pics of Cumberland Falls and Eagles Falls. It is so relaxing to see the rushing water of the falls. Have a great day!
Thank you for letting us know about Luiz, I am very sad to hear of his passing. He would have loved that you remembered him in such a touching way. He was always such a nice man.
Great scenery.
as always lovely shots and thank you for sharing
How sad another blogger is gone. I remember participating in the flower meme.
Worth a Thousand Words
The scenery is just gorgeous. It is sad to lose a blogging friend. Getting to know people, through blogging, has been a great thing for me. Thanks for linking up today.
Oh I remember Luiz---he did have a flower blog and meme. He will be missed. What an adventure you all had. Nice waterfall

Truly amazing place.Loved the waterfalls.
Thanks for all pics.
Wonderful shots. And so sorry to hear about Luiz.
Looks a bit difficult trail to move around rocks and boulders, but loved both the falls but liked more the pretty little eagle falls! Beautiful capture on the river and trails
Happy Weekend
Hi Eileen, sorry about the passing of your blogging friend, Luiz. I didn't realize - I'll pop back to Skywatch and see if anything was mentioned. Your falls are spectacular. I was about to say, I hope Betsy Adams visits your blog today and I see she did; also recollected a harrowing hike she and George had on this hike. Have a great day. Jo
So many bloggers have passed since I started years ago. Others just disappear and I wonder about them.
I love your outing to the water falls. Very nice looking trails.
so sad to read about luiz, i did not participate in those meme's.
the waterfalls are beautiful...that does look like a song sparrow, i see them here, i always see them here but only on the ground!!!
Oh Eileen, what an awesome place for a stroll. I don't like those paths along the edges of cliffs though, not with vertigo. The railing really wouldn't make me feel secure enough but I bet it's a beautiful scene.
Gorgeous sky, waterfall and other nature photography!
Happy Day to you,

Amazing landscapes, Eileen!
Happy weekend!
What a beautiful spot!
Lovely trail with beautiful falls
Eagle Falls.. Seems like a gret place to visit. Love waterfalls and this one is great.
