| A superb day |
Before I headed out I really didn't know what to expect for trail conditions. What I found was a combination of light snowshoe pack, some deer trail pack (on the NCT) and a few stretches of plowing through powder. Pack is better than powder! With the very hard winter we've had so far - weeks of below zero F temps - these falls have covered over almost completely. I really thought that the volume and speed of this river would have kept them more open. For your viewing pleasure...

| Almost perpendicular to the fall looking downriver |
 |
| A side-on view of Conglomerate Falls. That odd ant hill looking thing is a dome of spray foam... sort of a wintertime oddity. |
 |
| Airy and tannin tinted... sort of a hex shaped thing going on here!?... |
The North Country Trail is trafficked by lots of deer...
Next fall on the river is...
 |
| Potawatomi Falls |
 |
| Taken from the frozen riverbank |
Next up...
 |
| Gorge Falls |
 |
| Late summer... |
From this fall to the next there was only deer pack, and I would remind those who trek around on snow covered bridging and planks that stepping close to the edge of the bridge (as in not paying attention...) is likely to induce a neat pirouette with arm flail... just say'in, that
COULD happen...
 |
| Sandstone Falls |
 |
| Late summer... |
I've got a few movies of these falls, I'll put them up later. Finally, the last fall for today...
 |
| Rainbow Falls |
 |
| Late summer... |
Hope you enjoyed the pics. It was a really nice day for the hike.
 |
| Pack and gear are ready to go for two January trips. The pack I'm using is a retired ILBE via the USMC it fit and carried well today with the right load for January. Two thumbs up! |
