<\/a><\/p>\nThere was even a minature waterfall to admire along the way.<\/p>\n There was a LOT of snow left on the ground, and it was 59 degrees, so there was also a lot of water!\u00a0 We had to forge two creeks that are likely not usually even running.\u00a0 One of them was so bad I had to run around and find small boulders to fill in enough so we can make it across without soaking our shoes.\u00a0 Here is a shot of the snow covered trail.\u00a0 At least we could see the dirty footprints so we could stay on the path.<\/p>\n The trail isn’t too exposed until the last quarter mile, when you will emerge from the forest and get the full view of the waterfalls.<\/p>\n The last quarter mile is a trail cut through huge boulders until you reach the end which is about 50 yards from the falls, close enough to catch a little mist to cool off after the hike.<\/p>\n This marmot welcomed us as we approached the end of the trail.\u00a0\u00a0 We saw two other marmots but they ran off as soon as we got close.<\/p>\n An excellent hike with a great reward at the end!\u00a0 Definitely a must do!\u00a0 We had the waterfall to ourselves for the full half hour we hung out there, which is a clear sign that we were NOT in Yosemite!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
