| no partners | | There were 4 water crossings on Peralta Road, which we took as a good sign that the falls would still be going. My low-clearance vehicle had no problem getting around the edges of the water crossings.
Started at 0915. Temp was 40°. There were only 6 vehicles total in the parking lot, but there was a group of about 20 people (ages 9-50) doing coordinated stretches and getting psyched up.
There was a lot of green and numerous birds along the trail. However, the large group cranked up Beyonce or something as they started, which made it tougher to hear the birds. The music faded away as we progressed, and eventually we didn't hear it.
Shaka Cave was nice and clean. We investigated it, struck poses, took pictures, and moved on.
The falls had mild flow. It was pleasant and peaceful. There were 3 people there, who left as we arrived. We took pictures and climbed around. After about 20 minutes, 5 other groups arrived. We proceeded to the lower falls and hung out there for a little bit, then headed back, passing at least 7 other groups that were heading to the falls, including one that had an excellent quality speaker, and wanted everyone else on the trail to hear it.
Overall a nice relaxing morning. We had the cave and falls all to ourselves, but passed many other groups as we headed back. Next time we'll go there immediately after the rain. |
