Thanks for sharing, that hiking trail looks amazing.

[myswtsins]

Fantastic shots & specimens! That bridge is awesome! :) Thanks for sharing!

[7itanium]

used to go on an 8 mile hike something like that when I lived in montana

even had the same bridge lol

[faun]

Some amazing shots, bet you had a great day out. What is the red bird in one of the first pics?

[rich311k]

Great shots! Looks like a lovely place.

[ChrisK]

Awesome pics, looks like a fun place.

[captaincaveman9]

This hike kicked my butt. the sign lied, the 1000 foot drop was in the first 2 miles of the hike then then after mile 3 there is still another .5 miles of hiking, and it's not easy. None of the trail was flat for more than a few hundred feet at most. It was beautiful though and there are a lot more pictures taken. There were 2 of the log bridges, and because of all the recent rain, the water flow was a little scary.
Faun: The red bird is hard to tell from the angle at first I thought it was a cardinal, but I never saw the crest on it's head. Other than that I have no clue and would guess some kind of warbler.

Great pics Capt'n! That reminds me, I really need to get out hiking soon!

[Inka4040]

It is in shadow, but it looks like the Scarlet Tanager.

[ProAquatics]

nice trip

[coach_z]

nice hike. were you able to feel your legs by the end of it?

[jackiomy]

Amazing. We don't have much but desert here.The millipedes are yucky.

[Sounguru]

I look at those pictures and all I can think is why didn't you take a cray trap with you.......

[captaincaveman9]

I look at those pictures and all I can think is why didn't you take a cray trap with you.......

the water was moving too fast to safely enter it and can't take rays from a state park.plus, look at picture number 2. LOL not lugging anything else in the pack, don't think a cray would survive the trip back up.

Ohh and coach, I could walk fine, until this morning, thank god for ibuprophin :D

[coach_z]

I look at those pictures and all I can think is why didn't you take a cray trap with you.......

it also depends on if the OP adheres to the 'minimal impact code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_impact_code)' where you carry in what you carry out, no more no less. and do not take fauna or flora with you and so on.

[jm1212]

looks like you had fun!

[Hurley]

What a hike. It looks beautiful. How long did it take you?

[BoCoMo]

[dirtydawg10]

[captaincaveman9]

5 hours LOL the muddy sections of trail near the cliffs made things slower
