Kanarraville Falls

When you hike Kanarraville Falls you don't hike on a trail next to the river. Instead you hike on a trail that parallels the river for a bit but it eventually ends up on the other side of the river. You ever so carefully jump from rock to rock in the river to try and keep your shoes dry and continue on your way. The trail on the other side of the river ends up back on the side of the river you started on, so again, you scout out a path of rocks that stick up above the water so you can cross the river without getting your feet wet in the frigid water. This process occurs at least 50 times during the hike so you eventually give up and you end up walking right up the middle of the river enduring the 33 degree water so you can see the gorgeous waterfalls and beautiful scenes.

All admit, my frozen toes that felt like they could break off at any moment were not the highlight of the hike. The time spent with my Mom, Dad, and Uncle while in an amazing masterpiece which included red sandstone walls, perfectly painted leaves, and crisp autumn air is what I enjoyed the most.

The majority of these gorgeous pictures are compliments of my Uncle Alan. I think he's talented!
