Adventure on Abrams Falls Trail

Well my adorable parents and sweet sister came down to visit us this weekend. Since we are such an adventure driven family..ha... we decided that we needed to spend our first day together going to Smoky National Park which is about 40 miles from our house. We picked one of the most desirable hikes, Abram Falls.

These Pictures describe the first 2.5 miles of our hike to the falls.













I have no pictures for your to view of the 2.5 miles back to the car but I have some bullet points of what it involved.

1. Laying down in the middle of the trail
2. Heat Exhaustion
3. My sister and I running over 2.5 miles of trails for help (I beat her which I will never let her live down because she's the runner in the family and my husband said I have no more excuses about not being able to run so I guess it was a double edged sword)
4. Sirens
5. Multiple rangers prepared for a "carry out"
6. EMT with ambulance and Police Man

However we all did survive and recovered. Our goal was to be home at 3:00 pm and we made it home at 7:06. However we have a great story!
