The Sinks and Laurel Falls

These were two quick, but nonetheless fun hikes I did when a few friends of mine visited from back home.
The Sinks is literally just a driveby waterfall. You could drive right up to it, hop out and hop in the water or take a few pictures.
I'd strongly recommend staying out of the water here, and local officials appeared to oblige - there are several signs informing visitors to not take a dip in the waterfall as several people have died as a result of doing so.
Nonetheless, we saw at least seven or eight visitors sliding down the rocks into the water. I'll admit - it did look fun. We were on a little bit of a time restraint though, so I didn't get a chance to check it out. But it was very pretty - and very powerful - from where I was.

The other waterfall I had a chance to take a look at was Laurel Falls. It was my hike for the weekend a bit ago. It was short, only 3 or 4 miles roundtrip, but it was pretty. The waterfall was split into two parts and was a cascade. Visitors - and there were plenty of them - were able to walk in between the two parts. There were lots, and I mean lots, of children playing in a little pool in that middle spot because there was a barrier there. It was a very popular hike because it was paved the whole way as well. Less of a hike, more of a walk. But still pretty. I don't think I'd ever do it again, but I'm glad I checked the box.
