Upper Falls

Today we ventured out to Lower Wallace Falls. Started the trail about 9:30 with a 15 month in backpack and 5 year old walking. For the most part the trail was good. A little slippery from all the recent rain and one tree over the trail, but that was nothing major. Since the weather was not the greatest, we didn't encounter a lot of people like we did when we hiked this trail in late June. The falls were very pretty and it was a bit nippy (we were glad to have sweatshirts for the kids). On the way back we took the cut off for the old railroad bed and found it to be in good condition. A bit muddy in places, but again nothing major.

There were warning signs posted that there had been bear activity since the beginning of Aug, but we ran across no signs of them.

Arrived back at 1:00 pm and the parking lot was still half empty. A GREAT hike for our 5 year old who is just starting out.
