Good Friday Afternoon!
Some of the upside of all the travel I’ve had (and been able) to do is realizing that some places seem to have it “figured out” when you go to their parks. Holly River may be one of those - I had never camped at Holly River, it was a little too close to home to get excited about camping it when I was a kid - but Carmen and I made a trip of a few weeks back, and had a blast!
It also meant that I was able to get into some back-corners that I had never seen in a park that I have visited many, many times.
While these falls probably don’t count as a “back corner”, they are an example - this was the first time I had laid eyes on these falls. We had been there and not had enough time, or it was winter and the water was too cold, or too high. This day was perfect - we were hot enough to be excited about being in the water, and wow - when we got to the amphitheater that holds this beauty, it was easy to see what makes this one special.
I love these places - where the moss is growing on the rocks, and the rhodo crowns the rim of the bowl. And even though this is a “front country” spot in one of the more popular parks in the state, we didn’t see a single person on our hike. Not bad.
Hope folks have a great weekend and bit of adventure - school starts for us next week!
