Rock Island Trolley Stop 

Is seeing an epic waterfall on your summer bucket list?

If so, consider Twin Falls at Rock Island State Park.

This park is located in Warren and White County,

which is just under two hours from Nashville.

We hiked the downstream trail which is a fairly easy hike

One advantage to this trail is being able to

peek through the trees to see the river below,

We also saw these ominous looking stairs and had to climb them.

They led to this really cool cave and I mean,

cool figuratively and literally because it was at least 10 degrees cooler in here.

we climbed down some rocks for the grand finale of our hike.

I present to you Twin Falls as the mist from the falls cooled me down.

I couldn't help but feel like I was in the world of Pandora on our way out of the park.

We got some ice cream at the trolley stop

as the perfect ending to the perfect summer day.
