Hey all!
FYI this site is great!
This past Saturday I headed down to Tannery and had an awesome time hiking the creek. with the rain the night before the water was moving at a nice pace but made things slick and the scree on the walls was very loose and sliding/falling
I ran into only one person about 30 minutes of walking. We chatted for a while and he explained to me that he found this creek thru this website. We both laughed cause that was how I found it as well. And ended up hiking the rest of the way together
I just have a coule pics to post. I didn't take many at all Since it was my first time in the creek and I spent more time staring at the scenery....
Reading back over these posts... I kinda wish the log was still on the second tier of the falls in the pic above.... Myself and my new hiking companion decided to climb over or attempt to originally lol.... We scurried along the wall of the Glenn to the right side of the falls and came to the second tier. Decided that walking across to what looked like a rope was not going to happen... So we went behind the fall and climbed up. Not to bad. The rocks were slippery but we were able to find foot holds and pull ourselves up the teft top portion and continued up and over grabbing onto roots and stone ....
We continued on for probably 40 minutes checking things out till I found a posted sign. Figured that was as good a time as any to head back...
Here's a couple pics I shot above the falls
Returning back to the falls in my first pic was a worrisome endeavor for sure.....
I tried coming back down the way I went up from behind the falls but I could not for the life of me gain a foot hold ... Funny how going up seemed so easy...
So I went a bit further left toms scurrie down the left side to the second tier. The steel cable that was hanging from the tree was a bit dangerous... You cannot truly get a grip of that cable because it steel..and wet!!!! I slooooooowly decend down the wall to the flat area. The water was moving pretty fast and the rock was very slick... I couldn't just walk across... I ended up getting on hands and knees and crawling across while being hammered by the falls. I could tell that if I wasn't careful I would definitely have been pulled right over
It felt awesome and scary as hell at the same time
Currently until there is a safer way to cross or climb I would not recommend trying to get atop this fall at all. I'm super cautious and slow so this took me 30 minutes to do.. Maybe to cautious but I did wanna survive lol
Looking forward to returning back to this site now that I've seen it once and take the hike up to the falls a bit more slowly and take some more photos
