Brook atop the falls
A mushroom for the Vpo Man
A tiny bit of Hardwoods along the way. Most of the hike is through huckleberry and blue berry bushes with dwarf pines.
Breakneck and Storm King in the distance.
I made the trek to Sam's Point right after work. It took a bit longer than expected and I was not pleased to find that I'd have to be out by 7pm. Then again, I was pleased to be getting some from Mother Nature.
This would be a pretty quick hike out to the Falls. While there I enjoyed watching the Falls running as the previous time it was barely a trickle. It's not one of the picturesque waterfalls, but it is set in a wonderful location. It's at a top of a ravine and drops down close to one hundred feet. Near sunset, the sun shines its light on Verkeerder Kill Falls.
Isn't the area below the falls now state property? I'd love to hike up the brook that leads to the base of the falls, if that's possible. The MC can tell you where to park so that you don't have to worry about what time you leave. He's the hiking hobo of the HV.
ReplyDeleteOh....nice mushroom. The MC new most of the mushrooms, and would often engage in trail-side nibbling. Everyonce in a while, I'd get scared that he'd eat the wrong kind and keel over, foaming at the mouth.
