At the trailhead, our leader Jeanine gathers the group and gives on instructions

At the trailhead we had a number of options. We choose Siouxon Trail 30

The trail was wonderful and our leader set the pace

The group did occasionally stop to chat

The trail followed Siouxon Creek

We first encountered Horseshoe Falls. At this point we crossed the creek on a nice bridge

Next we came to Siouxon Falls.

Note the S shape

There was a lovely pool at the base of the falls

We had lunch about one mile passed Siouxon Falls

some happy hikers
