I have a love hate relationship with this hike. Every time I go, I vow never again because of the long start but then this is my third time. We'd never gone all the way to Barrier Falls thinking we had found them prematurely. So remember, if there's any way around them, it's not Barrier yet.
After getting down the initial cliffs the long section of stream and boulders starts.
73803
Finally, the first small falls.
73805
Crossing over deep pool via slippery shelf
73806
Cliffs closing in
73807
Beautiful pools
73808
Double Falls
73809
With traditional (very cold) dunk
73810
Up past the falls
73811
More and more scrambling and more falls
73812
Still more
73813
Spring flowers
73814
Can still get around this
73815
And then there it is, Barrier Falls!
73817
Just a side note, there is poison ivy so wear long pants.
