and then the hike actually begins.

What makes a good hike is....

... where you stop first!

We begin by looking for Lichen Falls

..and once again, it has no water flowing over it.  Maybe next time?

But we did see some interesting trees

See!

A nice pool of water at the bottom

If you look close you may see something strange in that hole.

Wait! I thought I saw something in the water.

Ah, it was just Pumpkin.

A nice way to enjoy the surroundings

and Dianne at work!

A professional photographer at work?

A professional geologist at work?

Cheyenne learning to skip a rock for the first time

and now we arrive at Kings River Falls Natural Area

You can always find "peace" on the OHT

And yes, by the way, Happy St. Patrick's Day

Us at the trailhead

It turned out to be a very nice day

Entering the Natural Heritage Area

Kings River along the way

...and Kings River Falls

A shot from the far side

and us ready for lunch in the sunshine

Kings River Falls pouroff

A few "lunch" shots

Finding yet another waterfall, but not much water

Exploring up the hollow

Vic doing his own exploring

Our final waterfall, but no water today

..but who knows what is around the next corner?

A lot to see, and we tried to see it all

And yes, it was time to go. It was fun.

Pumpkin is not sure what Gerry is doing!!!

We arrive back at our vehicles, and carrying out a bit of twisted wood on the way.
