In the spirit of #WaterfallWednesday, I hiked into the mountains outside Vail today to a series of cascading waterfalls! Here is one of the waterfalls (left pic). To take the pic, I needed to scramble down a steep class II/III rock formation (pic on right by Lori H.). A beautiful hike including views of an expansive meadow and mountain ridge. #Colorado #mountains #waterfall

Photo of me taking photo of waterfall in other pic. I am seen at a great distance away at the bottom of a steep rock formation that I scrambled down to take the pic. The waterfall is not in this view, which is why I climbed down to get a full view of the waterfall for the photo on the left.

I took this pic at three miles into Upper Piney Trail.
