The Mau-Har Trail is a blue blazed side trail the branches off the AT and loops back to it at a later point. Actually if you take the loop it cuts off 3 miles of the AT but this trail is more strenuous then the AT.
So I decided to take this side trail, not because its harder but because along this trail there are numerous waterfalls and swimming holes. The trail goes almost straight down into a ravine and then pretty much straight back up on the other side. But it was well worth it. The waterfalls were beautiful and there were too many swimming holes to choose from. Moose and Tetherball took the side trail with me as well. After about 5 minutes we found a nice swimming hole, stripped down to our undies and jumped in. The swim was refreshing but short lived. The water was so cold that as soon as you jumped in you pretty much jumped right back out.
But the scenery the and the swim was well worth the monster climb out of the ravine back to the AT.
