^ You see the heart at the bottom? Oh nature, I love you too.

^ Here’s a little game of Where’s Jamie?

We took a day trip to Dupont State Forest and hiked the trails to view some beautiful waterfalls. We first visited Hooker Falls, then crossed the bridge to Triple Falls. Fun Fact: some of the most iconic scenes from the Hunger Games were actually filmed here,  such as when Katniss finds a wounded Peeta camouflaged among the rocks. Cool huh? I highly recommend anyone in the area to visit this place, it is a beautiful hike and the waterfalls are so peaceful. Pack a picnic and relax on a flat rock at the foot of the falls, it will put everything in your life into perspective. Trust me.

We made it! On top soaking in the breathtaking views the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer. It truly is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in America.

This place is magical! Moss everywhere you look, glossy black stones and canopying trees with twisty branches. I was certain we’d run into a garden gnome, or at least a fairy or two. We fell in love with the forests in this mountain.
