What a beautiful day!!

We got up early and began our hike at 7:00 am.

It was nice a cool. The valley below looked a little hazy, but still beautiful!

As we started out I felt so good.

I have been walking almost everyday, trying to get in better shape.

I could tell it helped.

Then the trail started to get really steep and rocky. More difficult!!

The picture above is taken looking back on where we just hiked. It was really rocky.

My sweetest darlin! So fun to hike with!

Lots of beautiful scenery on the way up! Don’t you just love the sound of water?

When you see ferns, it means that the waterfall is getting closer!

 There’s the waterfall! It is so beautiful!

So nice and cool, near the bottom of it.

It was hard, but not too bad. Very beautiful!
