A week after I went hiking with Kalin, I return to do some more hiking. This time I arrived before dawn and hiked part of the way up to Tom McCall Point. I got the next couple of pictures on the way up as the sun comes up. This is a HDR picture and it was windy, so the flowers didn’t come out as well.

To get to Whiskeytown Falls, you had to hike up a 1.7 mile trail with 700 feet of elevation gain. The last part of the trail was also covered in snow during our visit. There was a little too much water running to get a great picture of it. Another place to visit in late spring.
