Buttermilk Falls SP — gorge trail, rim trail and Bear Trail

I don’t schedule group hikes along Buttermilk gorge because I figure everyone hikes here on their own escorting their own house guests and visitors up ans down the trail — then our group suddenly got two visiting guests of our own, and there we were with all the other tourists, gawking at the sights.

I think it’s always better to start at the top and get the first exposure going downhill — that way you’re not distracted from the scenery by gasping for breath or wondering if you might be having a heart attack

Of course the visitors were bowled over, but the rest of us had a great time too, even though this walk is probably very familiar to most people — it was a beautiful day and everything looked lovely
