hiking day

i had a great time today road tripping!
went to Eugenia Falls first, a short detour to Eugenia Lake, then made my way back to Hoggs Falls, and lastly to Mono Cliffs Provincial Park.

Eugenia Falls was rather disappointing. the height is great, but the water volume was so small that it feels like something's stuck upstream.
if it wasn't that slippery today, i would've went on the trail around the cliffs. it's pretty awesome with the height, and i was fearing that i'd fall over and die plunging.

got myself a small souvenir from Eugenia Lake. i was surprised to find shells washed up to shore. and it was just a docking shore!
there's at least 4 different kinds of shells. the wind was not too chilly so i stayed for a bit.

Hoggs Falls is definitely worth the time. it's a small, yet handsome falls.
tremendous sound with the water roaring down. lots of water!
i wish i could get to the bottom of the falls, but it was way too slippery everywhere after raining for 2 days.
i would definitely go back during the summer time and check out the greens.

by the time i found Mono Cliff's parking lot, it's already gotten kind of dark.
but i still spent a good hour there in part of the trails.
it's another place that i'll need to visit again next summer and autumn.
all the leaves have pretty much fallen off. it'd be a great sight to see burning colours of maples.
also didn't get to the caves, i had to make my way back to the parking...
by the time i reach the entrance on the way back, 4 cyclists and a dog passed me by.
i can't imagine getting out of there in total darkness. bravo to them!
when i got out of the parking lot, i needed to turn on head lights...

it's a fulfilling day.
the pictures aren't great because the light's dim.
and i couldn't take pictures with myself in it because the timer's acting wacky.
time to get a remote!!!
