As expected, the trail has quite a different look in the summer than it did in February. Much more greenery in summer.
Glory Hole Falls
Thanks to some recent rain, there was a moderate flow on the stream and waterfall that day.
Glory Hole Falls Trail
I really like the stream that flows up to and becomes Glory Hole Falls. The trail follows the stream for about a tenth of a mile. (There is also an alternate trail that follows the stream more closely.) The stream has a series of cascades and mini-waterfalls that are beautiful when flowing. (See photos below.)
These are some of the photos I took on my June visit.
