Cheat!1230 viewsI zoomed in on this little cascade and used filters but, it's still pretty.

located on the last bridge before the trail ends in a train coming at you.

BJ wasn't too happy about the train deal, she has this thing about trains.

Not to worry, the railtrail is on what used to be a spur and the train missed.

Guest River1252 viewsThis is typical of what you will see of the Guest River.

There are a couple of larger cascades that I could not get to due to time restrictions but, rest assured I will return in the Fall when the leaves are gone.
