| no partners | | This hike was remarkable on a few fronts. Cataract Falls were at their best, but there were a lot of people. A ridiculous amount of people. Cataract Falls isn't a huge waterfall in one place like Havasu Falls, but is a series of smaller falls that sometimes fall from a large height, and sometimes cascade over rocks over about 1,000' as the crow flies. The trail along the falls is about a mile, and it's a healthy workout with lots of stair steps.
It has been raining the last few weeks in Northern California, and this forest was very wet. This is one of the wettest spots in the greater Bay Area. This made it all the more puzzling why we didn't see a Pacific banana slug until we returned to the car which was parked right at the trail head even though it was slammed that day. Lucky. |
