Our luck is going to run out one of these days. It was another near perfect day for a hike. Nine of us set out on a 3.8 mile hike to benton falls. Unfortunately, the wildflowers did not cooperate on this hike, but the blue skies, near perfect temperature and a beautiful waterfall still made it a great day. This hike took us 3 hours which included a stop at the waterfall for lunch. We started with nine hikers and we ended with nine which was also pretty darn good. The highlight of this hike was Benton Falls which was flowing at about just the right rate to assure a beautiful falls. Considering all of the chatter going on among the hikers, I would have to say it was a very successful hike.
