Letting them go gave us the chance to stop for a while and enjoy the scenery and take lots of pictures with the girls.
Oddly enough, there were not a lot of wildlife at the falls and even the birds were kind of quiet. I did not want to see any bears, for sure, but a squirrel or deer would have been nice.
The whole trail took us about 2 1/2 hours and about half way through, we got to the bridal falls, the masterpiece of the park.
There were a lot of different kind of waterfalls including brooks and streams....
On our walk back from the Bridal Falls, we chose to take the hiker's path back to the end of the trail. Bad move. My knees were hurting by the time we got the end and were begging for flatter ground! It will be the normal trail for us next time, for sure!
The last two waterfalls were massive. the power of the water was just incredible, and the sunlight hitting the water was nothing short of magical looking! What a beautiful end to a beautiful day!
Over all, the trip was great and worth the $73 price tag for our family of 8. (We are really 9, but were missing our eldest Son.) We can't wait to go back again. Hopefully, we will make it in the Spring.
Loudly Yours,
Alicia
