August 26

Sunday, we walked the Cumberland Falls trail opposite from what we had done the previous two days. We left the campground and walked to the CCC trail that leads to the lodge. We took the part of the trail that we had not walked. The CCC did an excellent job of measuring, cutting, placing and mortaring huge blocks into stone steps leading up the mountain to the lodge. From the lodge we walked to the falls and once again looked for the cache. We still couldn’t find it. We returned to our campsite from the falls.

In the early evening, Bob and I returned to the lodge (in the truck) to update our blog.


We enjoyed the view of the Cumberland River from the lodge’s terrace.

At 11:00 p.m. we drove to the falls for the moonbow. Conditions that evening were excellent—clear, full moon, misty near the falls. We watched the moonbow appear and disappear until the falls closed at midnight.
