Vacation: Baskin Creek Falls

Otherwise known as the beehive trail. It's actually a very nice trail--one of the more secluded trails in the park. We didn't see anyone else on the trail when we were hiking (and it was even a nice day!), and only about 3 cars would max out the parking at the trailhead. This was one of my favorite hikes of our trip, even considering the beehive we (or Luke) encountered close to the falls. Some bees had decided to make a hollow log opening up onto the trail their home. They weren't too happen when Luke disturbed their happy home. Thankfully Luke escaped with only one sting, and we were able to backtrack and climb around the hive to avoid it.


Day hike #4: Baskin Creek Falls
3 miles roundtrip
953 feet elevation gain
Weather: No rain! We even had some sunshine!

Caleb loved playing in the water.

Caleb--practicing his animal noises as we hiked. Any guesses what sound he's making? (With our own little noisemaker along, we didn't see too much wildlife on our hikes!)


Unless of course, you consider overgrown fungi to be wildlife. Then we saw plenty, in all shades of the rainbow.

Was Caleb saying "woof"? :) I'm sure he was calling for the wild dogs...
