This hike to Hermit Falls is virtually all upside-down (that is, you hike down hill, then you hike up). I usually avoid upside-down hikes, but the rewards of visiting these water-worn pools makes the trip worth while. The first half of this trail can be combined with other trail
Unfortunately, the beauty and appeal of the setting has become spoiled. With the proliferation of social media, Hermit Falls has attracted the attention of thrill seekers who jump from the rocks into the pools. With them comes drinking, rowdiness, broken bottles, trash, graffiti, and frequent visits from emergence personnel to airlift the injured and dead to the hospital. Read news story.

먼저 차로 중턱까지 올라간다. 그리고 주욱 내려갔다 협곡과 폭포를 보고 올라오는 꺼꾸로 하는
하이킹이다. 이렇게 꺼꾸로 하는 하이킹을 표현하는 한국말이 있을 텐데 아시면 좀 가르쳐주십시오.
아쉽게 폭포수 사진이 없다. 개 두마리가 폭포 물에서 수영을 하는 꼴상을 보고 나오기를 기다렸는데
영 나오질 않아서 기다리다 덥기는 하고 지쳐서 그만 안 찍었다. 또 가면 되겠지...

많은 사람들이 좋아하는 지역. 사고가 가장 많이 나는 지역이고 좁은 길 때문에 헬리콥터구조 만이 가능하다.
대장께서 무슨 사고가 나면 헬리콥터 구조대를 불러야한다고 주위를 단단히 주었다.
Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri)

새를 보았으니 시도 한 편 감상하고...
The Blue Jay
by D. H. Lawrence
The blue jay with a crest on his head
Comes round the cabin in the snow.
He runs in the snow like a bit of blue metal,
Turning his back on everything.
From the pine-tree that towers and hisses like a pillar of
shaggy cloud
Immense above the cabin
Comes a strident laugh as we approach, this little black dog
and I.
So halts the little black bitch on four spread paws in the snow
And looks up inquiringly into the pillar of cloud,
With a tinge of misgiving.
Ca-a-a! comes the scrape of ridicule out of the tree.
What voice of the Lord is that, from the tree of smoke?
Oh Bibbles, little black bitch in the snow,
With a pinch of snow in the groove of your silly snub nose.
What do you look at me for?
What do you look at me for, with such misgiving?
It's the blue jay laughing at us.
It's the blue jay jeering at us, Bibs.
Every day since the snow is here
The blue jay paces round the cabin, very busy, picking up
bits,
Turning his back on us all,
And bobbing his thick dark crest about the snow, as if
darkly saying:
I ignore those folk who look out.
You acid-blue metallic bird,
You thick bird with a strong crest
Who are you?
Whose boss are you, with all your bully way?
You copper-sulphate blue-bird!
- David Herbert Lawrence

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works, among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct.
