The weather has certainly cooled down. It was in the 60's when we started our hike. By the time we reached the upward climbing portion of the hike, the hikers were already peeling off outerwear. I would rate this hike as moderate as once we turned off the main trail and headed toward the falls it was a steady climb of about 1.5 miles. Not to worry, we're a tough bunch! The distance of this hike was 5.21 miles and it took us 3 hrs and 36 minutes. Once we reached the falls we stopped, rested and had a snack. I have been hiking to these falls for many years and this was the first time they were completely dry! Even Henderson Creek, which we followed at the beginning of the hike, was down to a trickle. If you would like to see some photos of this hike including a trail map and altitude graph, click here.

This weeks joke... If you are seeking creative ideas, go out hiking. Angels whisper to those going for a hike! A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing!
