After some topographical map study I found a nice drop in a remote stream in the backcountry of Big South Fork. So I plotted a course and headed to the direction of the probable waterfall. There was some neat stuff along the way, and I found the waterfall. Just one problem, I was above the falls with no way down to the bottom!
It rained that night so the next day I decided to look for a different waterfall called “No Tell Falls.” I knew the general location but when my friend Nichole, who had decided to photograph spring wildflowers nearby offered to lead me there, I jumped at the chance! No Tell Falls is amazing!
I decided to combine both videos from the two days instead of making two shorter ones.
I’ve already returned to the area with the first waterfall and had success locating the waterfall I stood on top of and much, much more! That video will be a little over a week away.

Two awesome days you had there! The area around No Tell Falls reminds me of the Great Channels up here. Have a great weekend my friend.

Those were two good hikes. Like we said the other day, there are treasures that we drive by. One hike always leads to another.

I have already been back to the waterfalls I stood above but couldn’t get down to. They were better than I hoped they would be. The video of that is about a week away. I got a nice surprise at the end of it too! Spring is starting up down along the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. There’s plenty of wildflowers to enjoy! I’ll be back out there tomorrow for sure! It’s probably still winter north of the border but hopefully spring will arrive soon for you! There’s just nothing else like it when the wildflowers and new green growth reappears! It gets my blood flowing! Take care my friend!

I have lived here my entire life and there’s still a thousand places I’ve never been. Big South Fork is loaded with places like this. I’ll never live long enough to see even half of it. I do consider myself blessed to be able to get out and see all the beautiful things I get to see. I consider it a gift! Thank you John, I appreciate it. Please take care, stay healthy and be safe!
