The area was tranquil. It was wonderful to see the snow covering the whole park. The water falls were were intriguing to look at, while frozen over. The hot sun was melting the ice sculpture of the flowing stream and waterfall. I took a walk by myself carefully watching my surroundings. I hung out their for hours singing, while encouragong deep breathing. I did exercise their as well. My afternoon there was soothing and healing to my soul. I watched a few couples come by to the lookout, A dad with like 5 kids and what appeared to be a younger man sharing the scene with his older dad, maybe grandpa. Everyone seemed very happy to be there. I also saw some teenage boys who were respectful. It was very muddy from the snow melting, so nobody, including myself walked the trail. The step down point porch from the main one was roped off with closed. I saw a women slip under encouraging her young children and husband to follow. I am sure it was closed do to the freezing weather conditions. The sun melted, therefore they were safr. The wrought iron at another picture perfect area by the trail is ornate and beautiful. The benches are decorated in history. They also have a podium type structute with the history of the falls having been moved 300feet by the early settlers and why. Check it out.
