Oh, lookie, she found a waterfall. Who’s surprised??
I actually found three in two stops along the way. I’m starting with the one that cost money.
(A gripe: I came home early because of the price of visiting Indiana. Gasoline was over $5 a gallon in some places [while it was just over $4 here in Louisville while we had the prices of everything jacked up for the Kentucky Derby!], and I noticed that they have increased the price of admission to their state parks for non-Indiana residents from $9 to $15.
Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, and Tennessee state parks — us and five of the seven states that surround us — have no admission fee for their state parks. The only other state that borders us that does is Virginia, which is a $3 admission.)
Oh, well, as you can see, it was worth the admission. McCormick’s Creek State Park houses the McCormick’s Creek Canyon (a misnomer, don’t think “Grand Canyon” here), where the waterfall is located.
Yeah, it’s gorgeous. The park is gorgeous, too. I’ll bet that place is astonishing in the fall, with all those vibrant colors. If the price of gas goes down I’ll go back and find out.
Meanwhile, enjoy a lovely photo of a lovely waterfall on a lovely but cool spring day.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with a heat wave.

You’re right, so much incredible beauty in autumn. I went to Cumberland Falls in autumn one year, and it was amazing.

Just now
@LadyDuck — absolutely. The Christmas song is wrong: Autumn is “the most wonderful time of the year.”

Moral of that story: go to other states’ parks!

That's a little steep for admission to a state park.

I know. Niagara Falls is only ten bucks…and that’s parking, technically the park is free.
