Wanted to see how much water was flowing through the falls. Hiked the .2 miles to the falls and then decided to hike the 1.3 miles further to the lodge since it was such a nice day out and the trail is so pleasant. Didn't bring any pack or anything so when I took a tumble on slippery rocks and skinned my shin on a big rock, I was well above the water and had no way to clean out the mess - quite nasty. Anyway, a fine area I always enjoy visiting!!!! The falls are SO pretty!!!!!! This time I poked around in the cave-like den at the end of the railing area above the falls - very neat area! |
