The pools and falls themselves were hard to photograph as you couldn’t see the entire falls from in the pool nor nearby. The falls were great, but maybe not quite as amazing as the hike to get there.
This is the first pool. Climbing over some boulders gets you to the second pool where the fall drops.
Here’s Cyndi in the second pool adorned with her stylish yellow hardhat. These hardhats were under a big blue bucket along the path – put there for hikers to use to protect themselves from the occasional falling rocks. We also kept to the edges of the pools to avoid the big rocks from which these hardhats would offer little protection.
This was just about all you can see of the falls from the pool. Most of the height of the falls is hidden from view behind this closest cliff face. The water was cool but comfortable and refreshing on a hot day.
