At the trailhead , Maureen, our able leader, assembles the group and gives instructions

We followed a delightful stream and we could hear the water

The trail was nice, shaded and easy walking (for the most part).

There were a couple of nice bridges

After about two miles we arrived at the very spectacular waterfalls

After seeing the falls we hiked a few miles to a beautiful lunch spot near the river

Joyce found a big and dangerous teeter Totter in the river. Danger does not deter Joyce.

Maureen talks to the hikers about the hike back after lunch

On the way back the group stops at a lookout for an unorganized group picture

It is easy to find Joyce and Gary with a smile on their face

The trail back was through a wonderful forest with old growth trees

This is the trail we followed

This shows were we hiked
