The trailhead looking into the sun🌞.
This trail was very muddy and rocky and ruddy!
The upper trail quickly got steep and strenuous.
Nice!
We met back up with the other trail.
Climbing fun ðŸ˜Š.
We reached the summit!!
On top . . .beautiful!
Lizzy thought this was funny:
Quite a few wild flowers on the trail we took back.
We made it to the top at a campground.
Rain clouds were forming and the trail was a bit muddy and slippery already so we took a shortcut.
We just barely beat the rain! End of this hike and on to the next!
We had lunch and rested while the storm passed over. We had the trail to ourselves when the rain stopped.
Prepared just in case it started raining again.
Very easy trail.
One more turn.
We made it and had the falls to ourselves thanks to the storm.
Time to explore. This is our last waterfall of our trip!
Two happy girls.
One last view!
We were so happy to have this brave and courageous one with us ðŸ’•.
Our final hike of the entire vacation! A total of 71 miles of hiking this vacation.
