Welti Falls near Cullman, AL.
Welti Falls near Cullman, AL.
Quite the roaring waterfalls!  Lots of rain before we arrived and plenty of cliff jumpers as well.  Next time I have more time, I would love to hike the rim.

People used to be allowed to jump off the rocks around these falls, but after several deaths and emergency rescues that privilege was quickly revoked. Now there is a hefty fine for those who try. #hiking
