Getting started

On the trail

Barely hanging on

A nifty dike

Dikes are formed when molten rock flows into cracks in a previous lava flow, then cools and hardens.

Getting close

Bassi Falls, 100'

There is water all over the place

This is why I go hiking

Looking downstream

Just looking down

Spreading Phlox
Common Monkeyflowers

Back at the fun part

Jeffrey Pines

At the finish line

Snow Plant — my favorite flower
