A little waterfall in Coonville Creek.
After crossing Coonville Creek the trail turns left but an unmarked trail to the right leads to the top of the falls.

Lots of small creek crossings.

  1. You've lucked into some really nice hikes along the way. Looks like the weather has finally given you a break.

    Brodie doesn't seem to balk too much anymore at getting his paws wet. Guess he figured since you weren't about to carry him, he'd better start wading himself. :) I'm sure he'll enjoy hiking w/his new grandmother, too.

    1. Carry him? Let's not give him any ideas, LOL! Yes, the weather has been fantastic. Looks like it might hold out through the weekend but it will be cold.

  2. Great pictures. It looks like another nice place to hike. Glad Brodie is adapting so well to being a hiking dog. Thanks for sharing! Joanne from NJ
