Hiking - Kanarra Falls

We had read about a hike promoted by a nearby town and so we decided to give it a try. we had to get a permit for $12 each in the town only allows 200 visitors per day. It was 41° the day we started but maybe by the time we got down it was mid 60s. It was one of the most interesting hikes we have ever done. The first challenge was when I bought neoprene socks and had to put those on under my keen sandals – not an easy task. The trail starts by going up the mountain on a dirt road Stream running down beside it. Take the next ride after about a mile we came to our first Creek crossing. There was no way we had to go through the water and it was cold but my knee Arin socks get me warm and Scotty said he was warm with his thick ski socks. And then we were crossing the stream back-and-forth back-and-forth. It was quite fun. then it got to the point where we had no choice but to walk directly in the creek up the hill. There were challenges along the way where we had to climb over some logs and it got even more challenging when we got to the slot Canyon and there were more big boulders. At one point we had to go in between two folders and it was almost like steps but it was a very thin opening. We passed a few small waterfalls but at the biggest waterfall, the town had built a steel ladder to go up alongside the waterfall. It was very cool. I have never seen anything like that. It was after that waterfall where we encounter very large boulders that took some manoeuvring to climb. we finally got to the end where there was a waterfall coming down over more boulders and it was impossible to get up there. There was also a sign that beyond that point it was private property. We really enjoyed this hike and we think that the town did a great job of maintaining the trails, and opening it to the public. We celebrated our hike that day with a lunch in a nearby town restaurant called the pub.
