i took a very short trip to the lower falls on ruckel creek on saturday. we got back before nine am... left at about 5:20... i wanted to go downstream but i needed to be back home and didnt know how long i would take going downstream from the falls.
anyways, here is some of the snapshots one of the people i went with got:
starting the descent into the canyon:
over halfway down you cross this downed log. it was my way to remember where to start ascending.
now here is some of my shots from the day:
and one from a tiny bit further back that i am not as pleased with.:
two final shots of the day
great short trip!

Well done, Jamey! I'm glad that you made it to this beautiful spot. And it was wonderful (albeit COMPLETELY unexpected) to meet you at the summit of Dog Mountain on Monday morning!
