Day 189, Memorial Falls

I needed to stretch my legs on a recent drive, so I stopped and walked up to Memorial Falls.  The trailhead is in the rest area just south of Neihart, /\/\onTana!  All photos were using a Canon Digital Rebel XT and Canon 28-135 Image Stabilized lens.

The babbling brook, next to the rocky trail.

The trail is only 1600 feet long to the lower falls, but it is in a deep, rocky canyon.

Finally, behind some trees, is the lower falls.

It was a pretty little falls.  I did not have time to go to the upper falls.  Wallpaper Sized!

It is a misty waterfall…

The trail, while rocky, does have some steps built up, with some handrails, too.  And of course, your’s truely!

There were still quite a few wildflowers out.

And the final stretch back to the trailhead.  A nice walk, although it is rough enough that good shoes are needed.  There is “restroom” at the trailhead.
