Cecil Creek Trailhead |
Heading that way |
...and of course, water the first thing! |
....but we all make it ......DRY! |
...but once again, more water to cross |
...but we make it...again...DRY! |

Nay, it's just Barbara. Did we mention it was 14 Degrees? |
...so on to the cave |
|
It warmed up by the time we finished to 27 Degrees! |
Oh, by the way, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Dale |
|
John finds a cave....gotcha! |
...but this is the entrance to the real cave |
...and this marks the spot |
We crawled on our belly's to get here |
A waterfall inside the cave, trust me, if you can't tell from the picture |
There were bats everywhere |
Exploring. It was an amazing cave. You had to be there. It was hard to take pictures in complete darkness. |
||
There were at least three BIG rooms |
Bat art |
|
Looking up in the BIG room |
Trying to figure out where the water goes from here? |
You had to be there to ......!!! |

We come back outside just in time for lunch |
...and then on to Thunder Canyon Falls |
Did I mention, it was a little tough getting there? |
Blue pools along the way to the falls |
||
That is ICE on those rocks |
...and sometimes we can't decide what to do next |
|
...and yes we did get a few shoes wet, right Pam from LR? |
...and the rest watched |
...and John was a bit daring at times |
||
..but we arrive at the canyon |
||
and there is Thunder Canyon Falls |
...and there is Paula and John |
|
Quite a place, indeed. |
and us at the falls |
....and us again at the falls |
THUNDER CANYON FALLS |
...AND THE POOL AT THE BOTTOM |
...but we had to go |
...some did it their own way |
...and back across the water with no mishaps this time. |
