I needed a few trails in this loop for my WMNF trace, so off we went. I had planned on another hike but my car was getting tossed around a bit by wind during the ride up, so I decided to stay low. Also I think it's the first day for rifle deer so I chose a state park for my hike. :)
Trails were all in great condition and there were only a few small spots of ice. The falls are not yet frozen, but ice is starting to form on the sides due to the splash. Great day to be out!
