| Ready to go!! |
 |
| Dad |
 |
| This is what the trail looked like at first.:( The description had said to prepare yourselves for a rough and rugged climb. :P *we laughed*... |
 |
| ...until we saw this... |
 |
| It got VERY rocky. |
 |
| It's kinda hard to see in this picture but it was EXTREMELY rocky!! |
 |
| After a while the canopy opened up. |
 |
| About halfway down the trail we were rewarded with this spectacular view! |
 |
| So beautiful!! |
 |
| The rocks just kept getting bigger!! |
 |
| We spotted these little flowers. |
 |
| Like I said they didn't get any smaller. |
 |
| Almost there!! |
 |
| Finally at the highest waterfall Missouri Mina Sauk Falls. *sigh* |
 |
| Dad climbed down to the bottom of the falls |
 |
| Some parts of the trail had to be cut out of solid rock!! We were both very tired and hungry once we were finished. But it was a lot of fun! P.S. In Birthday Part 2 I made a mistake. Where my dad jumped off it was not 30 feet it was 50!! Next, Lilac's Edge and "The Hollow Log" |
Josiah, love that place. We hiked that trail a few years ago. Did you stand on the highest peak in MO? I did. Got the pic for evidence. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Proud of you.
Thanks! No I don't think we stood on the highest peak in MO... Where is it? :D
DeleteIt is on Taum Sauk. There is a little plaque that says you are standing on the highest point in MO. A whopping 1,770 feet. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell if it's on Taum Sauk then we stood on it. :D
