When we set out to go on our hike today, the weather report told us to expect clouds and occasional sunny breaks. While we were en route, though, we realized that we would be experiencing very different weather! We were at a higher elevation where there was wet snow, and slush bombs were falling from the trees. Undaunted, we decided–after a generous sharing of hats, scarves, and vests–to walk anyway, and I am so glad we did. It was absolutely wonderful to see not only the amazing falls, but also the enormous moss-covered trees.
Here is a video of the falls, followed by a slideshow of some of the photos I took.

Waterfalls are mesmerizing for me
These falls are really impressive. I have been very impressed by how well the parks here have been kept, even those (like this one) that are a long way from the city.
Lovely scenery.
It was! If it had been warmer I would have loved to stay longer.
Pretty dang stunning!
I continue to be amazed at the scenery here.
Gorgeous. So glad to share your adventures! Don’t jump off the bridge! Slush bombs! What drama!
You would love it here, Nancy.
I think I would….
Love the sound of the waterfall!
I do, too. I find it energizing. I cannot understand why they use waterfalls in “calming” audios.
