| no partners | | Lori, her son Henry (age 12) and I arrived at the TH about 10:30am and had a nice hike up to the spring. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and it was nice to walk in the shady trees with lots of views of waterfalls and the clear water along the way! It was a little more rocky that I expected, but I should have anticipated that having been up and around the rim quite a bit. I was using my old boots that I can feel every little pebble I step on, so I was going a bit slow at times. Henry hasn't been on many hikes, and he really enjoyed this one, especially the destination at the spring. Gorgeous up at the spring with mosses, and other greenery accenting the waterfall! We stayed for about an hour, ate lunch and then headed back down.
Back at the trailhead we ran into some other hikers who asked if we drank the water from the spring. Fearing untreated water, we did not, but were advised that at the mouth of the spring, the water is clean and naturally filtered. Consume untreated water at your own risk of course, but it sure looked inviting!! |
