Tiffany Falls

The more exciting adventure that I went on today was to Spencer George Wilderness Area, Tiffany Falls, to be more exact. It was AWESOME. Honestly, I can not even explain how excited I was. I've been there a few times before, and it never disapoints. The weather today was perfection, and the birds were out and chirping..it was a dream. I ended up taking about 200 pictures, I have my favourites posted here.

Here is a lovely map, to guide you!


The view from the top of the park


The trail down to the park.


Lovely Shade




This is me getting in touch with nature.


A neat bench / sitting area

Bridge.

This is a strange fireplace..I don't know if it is supposed to be a fire pit, a bbq, human sacrifice area? Who knows..

Preach on sista..I love this sign.

The brightest thing I've seen all winter. How amazing is this crazy red shrub?

I don't realy know what this weird Tree-Land-House thing is...I bet that it is a horse holding pen of some sort. In the old country, people used to put wheat (hay) on the ground and stick a piece of wood in the middle - then tie a horse to that piece of wood and get it to walk around the hay. This would release all of the barley, or wheat or whatever, because the horse would walk in circles. I bet that this is what this tree-house was built for. No doubt in my mind.

The view from inside.

I am in love with PATHS.



This one was so tall and narrow.

..I just couldn't resist. As you can see, I am feeling the wind blow in my hair.

This natrual stone little darling staircase goes all the way to the bottom of the falls.




The stream that feeds the falls



I call this one "Fish Eye View", I put the camera a milimeter above the water, I imagine that this is how the fish see the stream when they peek above the water.

Beautiful, Loud, Powerful. Also, the only place in Hamilton that still has snow.



Mist from the falls and sunshine.

I'll give you a dollar if you can guess who this quote is from.



This was the best day ever, I had so much fun at the falls. The park is realy well kept, I did not see a spot of litter anywhere and the grass and trees were well groomed. Who ever takes care of this place does an amazing job. Special travel considerations are courtesy of (the)Rog.

That's not Tiffany Falls. It's called Websters Falls. There is another falls about 500m from there called Tew's falls as well. It is spectacular too.
