Got up early and drove to the trailhead on a FRIGID day. Much snow still covering the high desert days after, it was really surprising. Set out on the trail and enjoyed the fantastic red rock cliffs under snow. The snow was pretty deep, and got deeper as you went. This unfortunately hid some hazards, and add some additional challenge. It was fun to have first bootprints up to the Big Kahuna falls, and to see it frozen. Whist standing below the grotto, I fell thru the ice into the small pool of water up to about mid-shin. BRRR! A nice sunny day and the hike down dryed me out. Saw a coatimundi on the way out, pretty neat. :)
