This park has 8 water falls throughout the trails. The first water fall was the highest and was beautiful. After the second water fall John decided to do the red trail. It was a beautiful day in the 70's and most of the trails were shaded.
About 45 mins into our hike we come to a sign that told us it was not what we wanted but we were already into the hike so we said " what the heck".
This was just the beginning of our 1 mile climb over rocks with no trail to follow. We were climbing up and just stepped on a rock when a little snake came out and slithered away. We didn't get any pictures of our butts in the air trying to climb the steep rock hill but we kept going. (what else could you do). We followed the river and stopped at benches when we saw one.
Our little 45 min hike was now into 2 hrs and at one point we went up 108 steps to get to a level then another 90 steps to get to another level. We kept saying what goes up must come down but we kept going up. We lost count of the steps until we went into the gift shop and saw this sign.
We say a sign at a little restaurant on our way to the falls that said Steamed claims . We thought claims and a cold beer sounded great . We drove maybe 1 mile and pulled off the road and was sitting there ready to pull into a parking spot when John yelled "STOP". Bam!!!
A man in a convertible jumped into his car without looking and was in a hurry to pick up his son for work and didn't even look behind and rammed into the rear passenger door. We have a boo boo on our RV and now our car. We still give thanks to God for his protection each and every day. It looks like He is working overtime with us.
After 2 doz clams and 2 beers, we went home feeling life is good.....
