Vacation: Rainbow Falls

Wednesday we managed to switch campsites between rain showers, hike to Rainbow Falls, have some down time, and enjoy a campfire in the evening. I'm not sure how we managed all that in one day!

Day hike #2: Rainbow Falls
5.4 miles roundtrip
1685 feet elevation gain
Weather: Rain on the way up, but a nice break in the rain for lunch and our descent

Rain gear --They don't make two-headed ponchos.

Bridge along the trail. (I thought of you, Mom! See the nice hand rail on the high, narrow, and slippery bridge?)

Some falls along the trail

Wanting to get some climbing in of his own!

Funny story: In the morning as we were racing to move our tent in between rain showers with the hopes of keeping the inside dry, we left Caleb in his car seat to play with his toys out of harms way. The toys he actually played with were the cookies! I came back to the car to find a little cookie monster with half an M & M on his lip and cookie crumbs all over! I thought about pausing to take a picture, but I really wanted to stay dry that night....
