Ramona Falls At Last- October 2008

Finally after two earlier failed attempts to reach Ramona Falls- the first last fall when the massive river floods wiped out the access bridge to the trail, and the second in the spring when snow pack prevented us from getting there (see April 2008 post), we made it this time. It's about a 6 mile gradual climb up to the falls, one of the most popular hikes in these parts...and it is awesome. As often happens, we encountered a little bit of everything on this hike... sun, rain, sleet and snow but the natural beauty (and devastation from the floods) was awesome. From the mosses to the mushrooms (it was harvest time and people were out picking) to the fall colors, it's a must-do hike if you visit.
