Even with all of the people passing me, this part of the hike was gorgeous. Dense trees from the top of the hill down to the bottom of the ravine. I had entered a forest with all of the layers of nature that I love. As I admired the rocky ledge and hollowed out tree trunks and all of the surrounding shades of green, I turned the corner and was greeted by a spectacular waterfall.

The trail was stunning and ever-changing. I walked along packed dirt, kicked up loose sand, weaved around puddles of water, tripped on rocky terrain, crossed streams while balancing on wobbly rocks, and climbed on basalt rock formations as the water cascaded between the massive boulders.

"I had not been on a trail in over a month and when I passed the threshold into the meadow it was as if Mother Nature herself enveloped me and said, 'Welcome home.'"

This short, flat, wheelchair accessible trail offers mountain views and birdwatching.
