Can't believe it's been 8 years since I've been here. It's such a pretty place but can be annoying on the weekend with the crowds. Denny and I were second in line waiting for the gates to open at 9am. We asked the ranger why they did not open earlier. He would love to, but it's a staffing problem.

We took my normal route of The Waterfall Trail OaB, Then over to the Pine Creek Trail to head towards the Natural Bridge.

It's slow going, climbing over the rocks and debris left over from the 4" storm a week or so ago.

We opted to hike under the bridge, being careful to stay upright on the slippery rocks.

Up the Gowan Trail and then we hit a few of the view points.

Good hiking with the Turtle again.
