Tunica Falls, Mississippi

Hey, y'all!  So, who knew that within a 2 1/2 hour drive of the bustling city of New Orleans, you could find peaceful wilderness with creeks, rocky hills, and waterfalls???  Yeah, me either!  But it's true, folks.  This lovely place will trick you into thinking you are no longer in the South.  It is called Tunica Falls and it is not to be missed.

See?  I told you.  You don't feel like you're in Mississippi!  I love it.  Can't wait to go back!  This trip was a quick one, as we had an adorable trooper of a 2 year old with us.  Next time, we plan to go camp the night before then hike the full trail the next day, which is a pretty full day's length.  

Have you found any hidden gems that are off the beaten path?  Tell us about it!
