p.1 #1 · Frozen Falls

Got up to Lower Proxy Falls a few weekends ago in the snow. The hike in and out was a slog on the snow covered road. It was super sketchy hiking around the base, on top of snow covered boulders with water running through them. At least there wasn't much spray

. These were all shot on Velvia 50 with Pentax 67 Feedback always welcome.

Very nice. I like the second one the best. How did you manage to get there anyway? Isn't the road closed from both sides?

The trail head is 2.5 miles from the snow gate. It's about 6 miles round trip hike in total. The trail was packed down enough to not need snow shoes or skis. After the big dump we had this week you would definitely need them now.

Very nice image, Heron, and extra points for making that kind of effort to get there.

Ah, I see. I was wondering from which side you walked in. Thanks.

WOW! That is amazing!!!

Sometimes all that snow and ice sort of reshapes the area the following spring. Hopefully, it wipes out all the previous indications of people.

You're welcome. That would be a serious trek from the Eastern side!

Thanks Mark. One great thing about the rain forest is it's ability to quickly erase some of the harm people do to these beautiful places.
