Yesterday we packed up shortly after getting up and ready and headed for the 29th St trailhead. We have previously tried to hike Waterfall Canyon but sadly got lost and ended up hiking twice as far to nowhere. So we regrouped this year and off we went. Hallie decided she didn't want to ride in the back pack so she walked the entire way minus about 5-10 minutes of being carried. When we got back to the car we had walked 4 miles in about 2 hrs not bad for her little legs. One thing that kept Hallie going was all the dogs on the trail...most of which we stopped to pet. Gracie slept on the way up except for momentarily peeking out to see what was going on. We stopped about half way up to rest a minutes and let Hallie play in the stream. Please ignore Hallie's poor sad eyes she had conjunctivitis and the swelling was so sad. But didn't seem to bother her. Except when she woke up in the morning with them sealed shut. Anyways back to hiking.
The waterfall was beautiful
Now that we made it to the top it was time for a rest and some refreshments...for all of us. The water was coming off the rocks as it came down the rock face and Hallie kept saying it was raining(slightly confusing) so we moved a little further back so we wouldn't get wet. Gracie getting her "snack"
Family snack time
After having our snacks we had just enough time to get pictures in front of the waterfall and head home for lunch.
We thought Gracie would enjoy the hike down facing forward so she could see....we were wrong she quickly fell back to sleep. We had a great time and it was the perfect hike for our little family. I think we will be doing it again very soon.
