This hike to the falls had too many pictures for one post so I split them up into three posts with ten photos each. If you missed the first two posts about this canyon walk you can find them in the links below.

After our break by the creek we followed it another half mile of so until you could hear falls. This was the first view of it after we rounded a bend.

#9 We found the best place
to just sit all afternoon and enjoy the water. My son went swimming twice, the dogs tried to make it up the falls and hurt their pads. Meika thought she could go up these falls like a salmon spawning. Not so, she tore her pads pretty bad, and is limping. I never got any shots of her, my camera died. I had forgotten to charge the battery before this hike. Ugh!
#10 Last one.
This area is so deep you cannot see the bottom. The water is crystal clear with just a little tannin tinting the water a light tea color.
We stayed here all afternoon, and I want to come back and camp right here and spend the weekend. The water never dries up here, the creek is fed by natural springs along the way.
I hope you enjoyed the photos, get out and enjoy some nature!
How beautiful Kim, the dogs will love this.
They were there dead center before we even rounded the bend. I am not even sure they stopped at the bank, just went right in.
What a great nature composition here!
I don’t know if you noticed the comments but I will go back to camp here soon.
Yep! For the whole weekend…
