The weather was in the mid-80s when we started. On the return trip it had warmed up to the low-90s.

There are four bridges across the various creeks on this hike. Only one of the four could be crossed. With effort we were able to find a way to cross the creek at the first and fourth bridges. The third bridge has had the trail rerouted and is still difficult to cross but not as bad as in the past. With a lot of teamwork, we all completed the hike.

For those that have not done this hike. It requires a good bit of technical hiking skills, although it is not a hard hike and beginners should not be on this hike.

We stopped at the top of the falls, had an enjoyable lunch, and returned to the parking lot. Next when I schedule this event for this time of year based on comments, I will schedule one hour for lunch and remind everyone to bring swimming attire.

Thanks to Justin for joining us on his first hike.
