Saturday
and nine of us head out Hwy 58 to Larison Creek
which is just past the town of Oakridge. The
temperature was cold so everyone snugged up with
hats and gloves. A lot of the snow had melted from
the second half of the trail but still there were
snowy areas. Jane marked the tree where we had in
the pre hike decided to make an arrow to drop down
to the creek and the waterfall there. It was nice
to have Al and Peggy with us once again. The three
miles in to the waterfall didn't seem very far so
after lunch Jane and five others headed further down
the trail to make sure we were at the right water
fall. Geoff, Tony and I headed back to the autos
and when the gang arrived they told of another
waterfall with more rushing water than the stair
stepped falls we ate our lunch by. Just a half mile
more, fifteen minutes down the trail, to a real path
leading down to the waterfall. After they described
it to me I recognized the place as the waterfall
Allan and Diane and I and Geoff had been to in a
previous year. Of which I am including two pictures
from 2004. I'm sure this is the one they described
to me.
