Trip to Momument Falls

The morning started out foggy, but was the perfect day for hiking. The lions got wind of what we planned to do and nine of them piled into the car.

On our way up to the Monument Falls parking lot, we spotted a few deer. We were the first people (and lions) to arrive. By the time we started up the trail another family joined us. The little boy took a liking for the lions.

It took us a long time to reach the falls because the trail was so beautiful and we had to stop and take pictures. The lions were so excited to be able to climb trees and rocks.

We had a picnic at the base of the second falls. Traveling back to the parking lot we met a lot of folks coming up and when we reached our car it had plenty of company.

We stopped at a parking area for winter recreation. There was a warming shelter, so the lions and Barb took a nap. The trails were marked for which ever sport you wanted, but were warned not to go on it with the wrong equipment.

From there we drove up to the fire look out. They were clearing trees and brush, but gave us a tour of the tower.

Of course the trip would not be complete without taking pictures of all the beautiful wild flowers.

About an hour after we got home a wind and rain storm blew in. It cooled off our coach rather quickly.
