Part 3- Cedar Falls Hike

We got up in the morning and started the Cedar Falls hike--a little over 2 mile hike round trip down into the canyon to the 95 foot waterfall. Amy and I had done this a few years ago, so she stayed behind and kept Avery while I took Luke and Lindy. We started at around 7:30 am and had the whole thing to ourselves...we actually finished the hike before any other hikers even started.

Bridge on the way to the falls:


Found another cache close to the falls:



These photos just don't do it justice, it looks so much bigger when you are down inside the bowl at the falls:





The main trail stops at the pool, but there is a small, difficult trail up around the pool where you can get back behind the falls.


Luke loved this, and of course he had to get soaked in the falls.


You can see Lindy off in the distance in this video:


Avery got restless while we were gone and wanted to "hike" (another new word she learned this weekend). Amy decided to get her out of the cabin and take her part of the way down the trail while she was waiting on us. There was a wet spot where a spring had crossed the trail, and Amy slipped down and fell backwards onto a rock, hurting her back. She is doing a little better tonight but still has some sharp pains when she moves wrong.
