"Road to nowhere, Bryson City & Deep Creek 3 Waterfalls run"
This will be an easy run, the journey time to the Road to nowhere is about an hour and is 41 miles. We will stop and look around the tunnel that leads to nowhere. The route up to the tunnel is nice and winding with some nice views once we get through Bryson City.
We will then head back into Bryson City (about 15 mins and 8 miles) and stop at the Everett Street Diner for brunch.
After brunch we will head on to the Deep Creek Waterfalls which is only about 10 mins and 3 miles from Bryson City. There is a parking lot there and good signs for the 3 falls.
We will head uphill on the trail to the Juney Whank Falls, this is not a long or too strenuous hike. We then head back down the next trail to Toms Branch Falls. Then a pleasant walk alongside a fast flowing river and over a bridge to Indian Creek Falls.
I have photographed all these falls and although they are not very high they are very picturesque and in nice settings. A nice stroll back along the other riverbank to the parking lot and then head back to the lodge which is a about 1 hour and 36 miles.
If we leave at 9am from the lodge we should be back by late afternoon.
