| no partners | | | A bit hotter today than I would have liked. The second mile or so was brutal because a whole lot of sweat got in my face and there were so many steps. I hate steps so much it is hard to describe. After that section it was easy going to the falls. The falls were very rewarding. I wasn't expecting much: a dried up wash with some 10 ft drop in rock. Suffice to say, my expectations were blown away. The falls look smaller in photos. Maybe that is just me misremembering it. The way back was nice. There was one astounding view of the Santa Catalinas appearing out of nowhere. The way down had no steps and was instead nicely switchbacked. A few of the switchbacks were completely unnecessary though, going uphill just to go back down and some with an obvious shorter path, cutting off the whole switchback. Perhaps that was the old route of the trail. The hike was over soon enough. Good outing. The fee for the park is expensive though! |

Autumn Foliage Observation Isolated
Most-all trees have lost their leaves by the falls. All of the other trees lower down had no stragglers. |
