KINGS BLUFF FALLS DOWNUNDER 2/20/10

At Pedestal Rock Trailhead

Heading for Kings Bluff Falls (A little snow and lots of mud!)

Dee and Chris at Kings Bluff

Letting everyone catch up before be head "downunder"

Almost ready

We go down ...... under!

Our first waterfall along the way

We would be going up and down quite a bit

Some of the bluffs under Kings Bluff Falls

   

We would cross the creek a bunch of times

The rocks and creek bottom was very slick

Dee checking out Chris

Gloria and Chuck in deep discussion

 

Another small waterfall

We would cross anyway we could

Sometimes we just had to get our feet wet

 

Carol

More water features

We found a bouncing tree to rest on

Chuck got a bad bite of something?

 

It is nice to have your wife along to take care of you!

Ah!

Look what we found!

An amazing natural bridge pedestal

....and a crack in the bluff for us to be able to get on top

This is another in the same area, both pointing in the same direction, both point towards the natural bridge pedestal!!!!

Is this an Indian sign tree?
