Abiqua Falls July 7, 2012

Just a quick TR of my jaunt down to Abiqua with some friends.
Sunny day and a few people visiting the falls, but not too crowded for a summer Saturday.
Good time was had by all!

The road was in decent shape. We took a minivan and had no problems if we drove slowly. We parked at a pull-off a little ways from the normal parking area. Then, we walked!

There's a sign just a bit down from the TH.

The trail gets steep and is difficult for people in flip-flops or other non-hiking footwear.
Image

A rope!

The rope gives confidence to Alex on her way down.

At the river!

Only a quick walk to the falls now.

Here's what it would look like if you kayaked over the falls:

So if you go swimming, you should wear a helmet in case a kayak drops on you? :shock:

That second kayaker sure gets his share of excitement with 19 seconds underwater. :(
Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…
