Tim had a holiday today,
so we decided to be brave and take a hike to Bridal Veil Falls
near Mount Index. The literature described it as "an easy
hike of 1.6 miles" and we were pretty sure we were capable
of that distance, despite not being *ahem* in the best physical
shape. You can read about Bridal Veil Falls here,
and see why it sounded attractive.
Before we began, we looked at the map at the Trailhead, and we
felt confident we could do this. Click the button to see a closeup
of the map.

Here's the
beginning of the trail, closed to keep out vehicles.If we could
have, I am sure we would have driven part of the way!

The woods
were so green and lush. Here, Tim admires a Big Leaf Maple tree.

|
|
Ferns, wildflowers
and plants of all kinds grew in abundance here.

|
|
Trees and
stumps were covered with layers of moss
|
|
|
|
The path
narrowed and became quite steep.
|
|
|
|
Every so
often, there would be a clearing with a marvellous view.

Near the
remains (one log!) of an old cabin, beneath a steep outcropping
of rock, Tim found something to photograph.

Tim found
this
link on the Web which explains what happened to them.
