kentucky falls

After a failed earlier attempt to access the trail to Kentucky Falls in March (due to a late snow season), I finally made the haul back on the long, motion-sickness inducing logging road to see the falls at high flow. The forest was a green and soggy state of gorgeous, combining pillars of new and old growth doug firs/red cedars with a floor of perfectly placed ferns and pillowy mosses.

However, the real gem of the trail was the waterfalls. Framed by a vibrant green matting, this roaring white water created a scenery that could only have been more enchanting and fantastical if a unicorn came trotting across the trail.
