We met Bob & Noreen at noon at the entrance to the preserve....I had found my book with the map so we were going to try & follow the red trail that goes around the outside ridge.
These two pictures gives you an idea of how steep some of the paths are.
Strange looking tree.
One of the three open area it crosses over.
What we didn't realize is the red trail branches off a couple of times & we ended up on the southern rim which, of course, is the more difficult way back. We climbed up hill for what seemed like hours! We finally reached this tree only to find out it was the way out to the other parking area.
We continued on & were elated when we saw a sign that said 1.3 miles to go, only to walk for 15 mins & find the next sign said 1.5 miles!!!!
We did get a glimpse of the waterfall & then knew we were almost back. We finally got back to our cars at a little past 4:00pm so it was quite a hike!
