Upper Twin Falls with Katie and camera

Sometimes it's good to rediscover your 'back yard'. I haven't been to Twin Falls as much lately. Katie had never been, it's quite nice to watch your friend discover a new place. I love that hike. I tend to avoid it because it can get crowded and because it's close and I think I just did it, but it has such amazing beauty. It was very crowded today because I-90 was closed and people were looking for an alternative place to enjoy. I'm glad I went up yesterday to play in the snow!

We got a break in the rain today; there was actual sun! Katie and I stood looking a the Lower Falls talking about the process of erosion. We could trace several different paths the river had worn through the rock. What a fun thing to explore together. We continued up the Upper Falls and I realized I'd never taken a picture there. I quite like the Upper Falls, there is something unruly about it. We turned to head back down the trail but I caught site of the light and moss on the trees and I had to get one more picture. It's a good thing Katie is patient (waiting through various camera struggles). I'm pleased with the result though.
