Hike #12--Sheep Falls (the one near Cave Falls)
We were not sure if we would get a hike in this week. The weather turned cold and there was snow in the mountains. Today we were able to go with our other two sisters (Michelle and Teri) to Sheep Falls. The hike is about 5 miles round trip. It is not too difficult of a hike and if you have an ATV, you can drive on the trail right to the falls. The only downfall to the hike were the clouds of mosquitoes. We had to reapply our repellent a number of times. There was a lot of water going over the falls and the wildflowers were beautiful. There were a couple of groups on ATVs that we passed and a couple of other hikers. It is definitely a quiet place to hike to and there are not many mosquitoes at the falls.
Our next blog post should have a number of hikes. We are heading to Oregon next week and plan on doing a number of hikes while we are there.
