Rex Trulove
This is the upper part of Annie Creek Canyon. In this part of the canyon, the canyon is narrower, much steeper, but not quite as deep as in the last picture. More pinnacles can be seen in this image.
This is also a very dangerous part of the canyon and the place this image is taken is about as close to the edge of the canyon that a prudent person would want to get. Again, this is pumice soil and if you start to slide on it, it is very difficult to stop. I had a few close calls when I lived at the park and was at that special age when I thought I was invincible. Reminiscing, I sometimes wonder how I managed to survive to adulthood.
All of this beauty is in part of the park that isn’t hard to get to, but most park visitors don’t even know that it is there. This is why I’ve said repeatedly that while the actual lake is worth seeing and is gorgeous, if that is all a visitor sees when they go to this park, they missed most of the sights that can be found here.
It seems to be such a beautiful natural wonder to visit.
It is very much so and there are turnouts where people can see it.
What a great place to find Rex.
It is really quite lovely. There is almost always wildlife there, too.
