Black Star Canyon Waterfall Part 2

Warning: Poison Oak - tons!


We did it! We went back to Black Star Canyon, this time with bikes for the road part of the hike and we made it to the falls. It sure felt good and boy was it worth it. Isn't it beautiful?


Once you get to the stream, you follow it up. At first it's not too bad, but then you start climbing over big rocks and over or around little waterfalls. Here is our first one.


And another picture worthy waterfall. Too bad we are blocking the view for you.


Then a few more till you get to this beauty. This picture is a bit blurry because Mr. C was trying to do the slow shutter thing.


Here I am trying to figure out if I can easily get up to that old mining hole. Nope, didn't make it. I would have had to get too wet and it was a bit cold.


Some kids that were there the same time as us put up this hiker log a couple weeks before. We added our names.


Snack break.



Remember from the first time we went to Black Star Canyon, all the weird things we saw on the trail? Well, here is another. I love this picture. It's so... Vintage I guess. It is just so pretty to me.


If you decide to go on this hike, please bring a little trash bag with you and maybe pick up a few pieces of trash on your way. It really was sad how much trash there was on the hike. We picked up what was clean enough to put in our bag, but we could have taken a lot more if we had a small trash bag.
