Today's adventure was a 6 mile out and back to the 2nd highest waterfall in the park (87 feet). We decided to go early so that we could nab a parking spot at the trailhead. When we got there there were maybe 10 cars. When we got back 4 hours later there were probably 100. There is a 10 person limit in most of the buildings so, consequently there are long lines everywhere of people waiting to get in. The crowds remind us of Acadia in Maine. That's not a compliment. This is the 4th of July during a pandemic. Anyway, our hike was excellent. I took the pic of the flower and Jenny under that tree because that is a Mountain Laurel. That looks nothing like the Texas Mountain Laurel all of my Texas relatives are used to nor does the flower have that distinctive grape smell. More tomorrow.
Our mountain laurel is all done blooming. There is tons of it on horse trails
