Hey Trailblazers! Are you ready for a blockbuster hike with breath-taking scenery? This hike will be to the beautiful Contentment Falls which you can walk behind! We will also hike to the base of the Wells Viaduct which is one of the highest train-trestles in the east. It is something to behold! It amazingly spans more than 1,300 feet long and 200 feet high!
