The Monday Morning Hikers went to Roaring Run in Botetourt County (Virginia) today, and after about 4 inches of rain in the last 5 days, Roaring Run lived up to its name.
 |
| While not the highest I've ever seen it, Roaring Run was well beyond its usual flow. |
 |
| Until today I've only hiked Roaring Run after leaves have emerged and matured. Today you could see the Falls (white speck about 1/4 down from the top) from a good distance. |
 |
| Usually this section just has has a nice sheen of water over smooth rocks - makes for a good natural "slip-and-slide". Today you'd be risking your life to venture into the creek. |
 |
| Roaring Run Falls are usually tame enough for this to be a good (but very cold) swimming hole. (See following photo.) |
