| partners | | After a little mix up with the carpool, we set off on this natural waterpark adventure. The water was perfect for a shortie wetsuit. You may have been OK with no suit if you never stopped at all, however people without them were getting pretty cold.
It was great seeing Hikergirl's eyes wide open in amazement of the scenery the whole trip, like watching a kid in the candy store for the first time!  It truly is a beautiful place and a heck of alot of fun. We splashed around in the water for about 3 hours.
The rap at the end is about 25 feet and was jumpable, but we all rappelled. There is a good deal of exposure so the more experienced people should set up a handline to safely ferry people to the anchor. Congrats  to several members of our group for completing their first rappel ever!
We caught up to the rest of our party and joined up with them for the final splashing downstream and the hike out. In screwing around on the boulders I somehow knocked my balance out of whack and had to rest for 20 minutes to clear out the cobwebs. I'm still not exactly clear on what happened??
What an amAZing place, I'll have to do this one every spring.  |
