WF #20
An amazing waterfall that was hidden behind
the bluff in a scouped out canyon...
you had to be there to see how magnificent it
was! |
WF #20 in the background |
Scott was climbing up there, looking
for a way
out and rounded the corner and saw a bear in a
cave...the bear turned around and looked at
him
so Scott decided to leave well enough alone! |
We finally made it up on top of the
bluff...
it was a very tough climb....indeed! |
|
|
We hiked over to the Buffalo River Trail
for our hike back....this is one of the
sinkholes
in the area..... |
This is a vista overlooking Boxley Valley
There are actually elk down there if you
look real close! |
|
Arriving back.... |
These ladies took a shortcut back.... |
I think this is how most of us felt after this
hike! |
