Day 8 - Waterfall Overload, Part 1
June 19, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F
Yesterday, we had an easy day, driving to the St. Mary area and exploring. The highlight of the area is probably the waterfalls, so we hiked to several today. The first is below, St. Mary Falls. We saw deer and lovely wildflowers on this great hike. The trail goes over red argillite rock, so there is a dramatic contrast of green forest, red rock, blue lake water, and white waterfalls/cascades.Read more
Traveler Looks lovely and cold judging from your coats. And "argillite rocks"! Where did you learn about geology?

Martha SleutelIt’s in one of the trail books. Not something I recalled from somewhere! And, it was 49 degrees when we started that hike. Still lovely, and I have so many layers, I stay comfy.
