We got a slightly earlier start to the day today than yesterday, getting to our first trailhead by 10:30am. That's not as early as I wanted but still early enough that we should be able to hike several trails today given how close we are to them.
Many of the falls in this area have low water flow right now. You saw that yesterday in our visit to Twin Falls. Meanwhile others are flowing heavily, like Looking Glass Falls, which we also visited yesterday. Which is better? It's hard to say. They're not so much better or worse as they are different. Waterfalls with light flows can be fun because you can get up close to them safely, as we did here. How close? Watch this video:

Spoiler alert: I walked around and behind the falls. I could have walked straight through them but chose not to. ...I've been under a falls with a camera before, and it was... not a good result.
