Tree Silhouette sooc #28

I just loved this tree, perched high over my head and hiding the sun from me.

I liked it this way!

and that! lol

Looks like someone has got up there and but bags on the ends of some branches. Forget how they got there, but why did they?

Pika! Pika-choo!!!

I'm in love with a rodent - shhh, don't tell!

Pikas are also known as Rock Rabbits, Coneys, and Whistling Hares. They love rock slides and from what some other hikers told us they're rare.

It was so cute watching him build his nest!

What a hike!

We decided to go on a short hike, we wanted to see. . .you guessed it, more waterfalls, lol. We hiked up, up, up! (On the trek back down we saw a couple of Pikas in this area, I'll be sharing them in a couple of days.)

I was amazed at how much smaller the other mountains looked, as I went up a peak.  It felt like I was in the clouds, refreshing!

I swear our path was cut by goats, lol.

While Dennis kept climbing a narrowing path toward the upper falls I stayed right here by the lower part and enjoyed the view.

the Bridge sooc #27

The Going to the Sun Road has spots you can pull over, shed the car and walk some paths. There was barely light left but off we went.

I just love waterfalls! Shortly after passing under the road we came upon this one.

A little further down the path we came up this bridge - scary! I'm not fond of bridges.

And another waterfall! We had it all to ourselves, having passed many people leaving the area before darkness, lol. We were trying to cram as much as we could in before night because the forecast was continual rain for the next day.

I did pause on the bridge for a shot, only shaking a little.
