Cascade Falls & Bushwhack Desolation Wilderness

May 31, 2020

Well, this outing only vaguely resembles the one I took ten years ago.  Much seems to have changed.  Thanks for helping me figure that out.

Getting started

First view of the falls

Pine Drops    ⇔

End of the trail, it seems

The adventure begins

It's not easy

Are we having fun yet?

Rocks are better than bushes

Slowing down

Worn out.  End of the line

South Maggies Peak

Cascade Creek

Starting back is not so easy either

Nice scenery, though

Snow Plant

There are fishies in the creek

Boaters on Cascade Lake

It's a zoo now on the falls trail

Last view of the falls
