On Wednesday I was feeling very stressed and tense all day and needed to do something to relax. So I decided to go to my "happy place" :) Where else. . . Bridal Vail Falls. I drove all the way up the canyon and when I got there it was fenced off. Jeepers, that was upsetting to go all that way for that. Well . . . what did I do?? I did what Megan does best. . .Crawled under the gate and took a bunch of pictures. :)
It was so nice, I didn't know they close it during the winter, I have never been up there during that time and it was gorgeous. It was. . . crisp, I don't really know how to explain it but it was so pretty. I could see why it was closed though. The trail was all snow and ice (makes it hard to go uphill) and the wind was insane! I didn't go all the way up, just to the falls and then back down. I didn't feel that bad about it because there were two other people up there. :)
I am thinking of submitting one of these for the 2010 GDB Calendar, what do you guys think? Which do you like?
Here is Fullerton on the bridge over the river. (Pic 1)
Fuller in the water at the bottom of the falls. (The water was FREEZING) (Pic 2)
Another of Fullerton at the bottom of the falls. (Pic 3)
You can kinda see piles of snow on the falls. And at the top was a HUGE pile of snow, it was pretty cool looking. (Pic 4)
This is what the trail looked like, pretty slippery.
Here you can see the wind flowing through his ears.
And at the bottom of the trail. (I think this is my favorite for the Calendar. (Pic 5)
It was fun, and I felt so good after my impromptu, spontaneous trip to the falls. I know I have said it before, but I love it up there. And it was Fullerton's first trip to the falls and he did stupendous. I think he enjoyed himself too. Here is a video of Fullerton. He does this every time my phone rings and it makes me laugh every time. I love it!!
