Clifty Falls State Park Roadtrip

Today we took another road trip to a state park here in Indiana. This time we went to Clifty Falls. There are 4 major water falls there, the tallest which is over 80 feet. There are several hiking trails and large gulches and ravines. We were only able to view one fall, as the rest were of of advanced trails that we couldn't take the kids on, and one trail was even closed due to rockslides!!! We are definately going back for an adult hiking day, and I will be all over those rocks!!! After a long hike with the kids, we did manage some playground time and then crossed the Madison bridge into Kentucky for some DQ treats along the Ohio River front. All in all, it was a pretty good day.....


This was the entry area of the north (easier) trails..... We took this trail, but the trail that actually branced off to the falls was 'advanced'. Bummer for us, sorry kids, next time you're staying with Grandma!!!
Small unnamed fall. Again, would have more water flowing in a different season....
If you look at the bottom of this pic, the water is running off the edge of Little Clify Falls. The trail to the bottom of the gulch was closed. Grrrrr....

We camped at Clifty Falls last summer - it's one of my favorite parks. I'm impressed Ali managed those stairs!
