Gary had been wanting to take a road trip to Shoshone Falls for a few weeks, but due to bad weather, we didn't get to go until the end of May. I can remember seeing the falls before, but never this much water pouring over the rocks. It was awesome! We walked to a look out platform that was surrounded by gates. Treven loved looking over the gates at the water. You could feel the mist from the water on your face from the platform. Mikayla kept freaking out because she was sure the platform would fall or the gates would come off or something...she wouldn't even walk out there!
Ellie tried walking part of the time, but it was just too far and too steep for her most of the way. We all took turns carrying her around!
There was a big rock wall by the platform so Gary had all the kids line up and he took about 20 shots (all of the exact same line up!) It's really weird now to have pictures of just 4 kids instead of 5. Still seems like someone is missing!
When you look down from the platform where the waterfall stops and hits the lake, there is the most beautiful rainbow in the mist! I tried to get a good shot of it, but my camera just didn't do it justice!
This is the view from the look out straight out and ahead. It seems like so much water and it comes down so fast! I would sure hate to think about getting caught up in that! I've never been a fan of water, so there's no way I would ever get closer than the look out! This last picture is from our walk back. Treven and I were lagging behind so he could look at every rock, every bug, every wild flower we could see. I looked up and thought it was so cute how everyone else was walking along together!
Such good photos! Love that last shot especially. What a cool look. About gives you goosebumps huh?
