My friend and I made a visit out to a beautiful little spot and spent the entire day there.

I was leading the way and during the course of our hike and I made an attempt to jump from a small cliff over a pool of water and I cleared the jump just fine but ended up crotch deep in thick watery mud! My friend and I bursted out with deep belly laughter once I realized I was okay and not sinking any further :sweat: It honestly took all my strength to pull my legs out of the mud, I literally had to pull on them with both arms and curl it upwards towards the surface. I managed to make it out without the assistance of my friend but in all honesty it would have been more of a panic like situation if this happened to me alone because it really was an unexpected booby trap, it looked no different than any other mud I have easily walked on top of before.

Such an abundance of green foliage and wildflowers everywhere in this area! Due to the immense amounts of Yellow Columbine Flowers near the falls I went ahead and nicknamed this place "Columbine Falls". Got some good tripod time and had a fantastic time just enjoying the beauty of this place.
