Burgess Falls PIctures Part Three

The last set of falls is referred to as the "Big Falls," and they do not disappoint. If you want to see the picture in a larger view, just click on it.


We saw this pine tree laying across the river. The stump on the right side of the picture used to have that tree on top of it. It was a very big tree.







After checking out the Big Falls from the scenic overlook, you can walk down a steep set of stairs to view the falls from the top edge.




After walking back up the steep stairs from the top of the Big Falls, you can choose to hike down a not-well-worn trail to the bottom of the falls. It's very rocky and kind of slippery, and completely worth the effort.








It felt so good at the bottom of the falls. There was a really nice breeze, and add the mist from the falls, and I completely cooled off from my hike down the side of the mountain/valley. But what goes down must go up, at least to get back to the car. Rather than take the trail back up, I decided to take a short-cut. I would have to scamper up about twenty-five feet of rock face, but what is a twittercation without a little adventure, right? After I made it back to the top of the trail to the bottom of the falls, I just had another set of stairs to climb to get me back to the main trail, and I got a couple of pictures from there, too.
