Sipsey Wilderness Area

Standing by the largest tree in Alabama -
A 500 + year old Yellow Poplar

Parker Falls

Rappelling by one of the many
waterfalls in the area

A young Maple tree experiences it's first Autumn

Another of the area's beautiful falls

Wow! Check out this "ice volcano" that
formed at the base of a waterfall
after many nights of sub-freezing temps

Group shot of us standing by the ice build-up, it was way cool!
