Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Rainbow Lake to Edwards Point 12.16.14

12.16.14    Today's hike was 4.6 miles.  The hike in was uneventful on this cool day.  Once at Edwards Point, the group separated and four of the hikers took a longer route back and finished about thirty minutes behind the others.  Everyone enjoyed this moderately tough hike.  To see a few pictures, click here or on the Rainbow Lake tab above.

Piney Creek Falls 12.13.14

There were six people on todays hike.  As you can see from the dress, it was a rather cool day.  It was especially cool and wet around the falls.  The group explored both the upper and lower falls and actually went behind the 70 foot falls.  To get to the bottom, they had to cross the creek and climb down using a rope for support.  It was a great hike and enjoyed by all.  I would rate the hike as strenuous, but I don't know the distance.  For a bunch of photos, click here or on the Piney Creek tab above.  Thanks to John and George for all the great pictures.
