Here it is! Wallace Falls! Wallace Falls State Park

We set out late morning on St. Patrick's day at a leisurely pace, enjoying the company and conversation on the well maintained trail - even this early in the year.  A wonderful, thick woods hides you away, but there are outlets that surprise you with sweeping views across a huge valley.

We dressed warmly with layers - a smart idea as it turned out since we experienced all kinds of different weather in March including rain, snow, cold drafts, foggy mist, filtered sun, and bright sun.

The blarney of the leprechauns caught up with us on this hike.  We did not know that this waterfall has 3 levels of falls cascading  around the mountainside.  We saw the bottom level and continued to the second level celebrating that we had made it to the top of the falls in record time!  The trick was on us though as other hikers broke the news that the top level, and the one with the most tremendous drop, was further on.

We were happy to continue our journey, and our reward was this spectacular spot.
