canyonwalkerBy the time we finished our fourth waterfall hike of the day, the towering Watson Falls, last Monday Hawk and I were feeling pretty tired. And I still had two more hike-y falls to go on my list! 😰 It was obvious that we'd need to swap in some mostly drive-to falls or risk having to call it a day already. Fortunately, I found two drive-to falls nearby thanks to a reminder from two fellow hikers who'd done every trail we had so far today. The first of these was Whitehorse Falls.
Whitehorse Falls isn't technically drive-to in the sense of being able to see it from inside a car. You have to park, get out, and walk maybe 50 meters to a viewing platform above the falls. There's also an obvious trail down to the water's edge. I made some picture from up above then checked the vantage from water's edge (shown above) and found I liked it better.
While I was still good for short jaunts like this, Hawk said she was basically done-done for the day. She didn't join me in scrambling down to the water. I suggested we take the remaining hikes one-at-a-time, easiest ones first, and see what we could handle. I had serious doubts I'd get through my whole list at that point.
