Tinker Falls is about 20 minutes from us.The falls is simple but quite pleasant. The water free-falls 20 feet over an overhanging ledge to the rocks below, before continuing its journey into Labrador Hollow. The nature of the falls allows one to get behind the waterfall, although this must be done with caution.

We not only hiked to the falls but enjoyed a mile climb to the top of the mountain  to see a beautiful site of the valleys below.
