My Roommates and I decided to go hike Stewart Falls before Tielle left. We thought that since it was a week or so into June (June 11th), that we would have a great hike. This was true, expect we approached some snow because it has been such a crazy spring. We had to first cross a bunch of snow right at the beginning of the hike. We went over and under many trees that had fallen when the avalanche occurred. Then, we approached more and more. One was pretty steep and very slippery. It was crazy to try and cross it. Probably not the safest decision,but we made it safe and sound. We saw many people crossing with babies and children and thought how crazy people were to endanger their child's life.
We made it to the waterfall which fell down underneath snow and then followed a river underneath more snow. There was a cave that made it down to the water. I didn't dare go down inside but people said it looked really cool. I had a fear of the cave collapsing. On a regular day in the summer, all the snow is not there the ground you are sanding on is like 20 ft lower. It was a crazy experience and interesting to see such a difference. Check out some of the pictures below!
Beginning the trail!

What a beautiful mountainside
Lovely Hikers!
Look at all that snow still.
Look close to see the waterfalls
We made it! I wanted to leave quick before the sun melted all the snow we were standing on.

At the end of the hike, we decided to each make a snow angel. It was fun, but super cold!
