What a discovery...

 

Have you ever hiked to an incredible destination, without knowing what was at the end of the trail?  Our day hike at Red Cliffs Recreation Area was just that.








 



First stop on the Red Reef Trail
 

We started a fairly short Red Reef trail through the red rocked canyon.  Almost ready to stop, take the views all in, and then turn back --- we thought....if we scramble over the small rock pile and continue deeper into the canyon, what would be ahead.   As we followed deeper, around a bend, we came upon a peaceful, and beautiful waterfall emptying into a slick rock pool.

Second stop on the Red Reef Trail

Yesterday's goat head experience didn't stop us from this discovery! And we're glad it didn't.
