The clean smell of the rain hangs in the air as I pull into the little parking lot. Just crossing the threshold of foot bridge transports me to another world. A primal place with gigantic trees and a thick mat of ferns where the small things live. A tree frog drones out it’s high pitched song calling for his love.
Tread carefully on the muddy pathway to the base of the falls. The trail shows that someone who passed through earlier left their mark on the pathway. A mark that leads to an unexpected bath in the knee deep stream below. Near the base of the falls large flat rocks catch only a fraction of an inch of the water flowing through the mountains. Butterflies play in the air as the cascade fills this natural cathedral with a light mist. Small fish dart around in the highly oxygenated water. Most of the small stones are blown out by the force of the water but the ones caught in crevices are smooth and clean. I could really spend all day here just breathing in the charged air.
But there’s a set of sad eyes and wagging tail who needs to be walked soon. As so, fully refreshed from the rich environment beneath Cathedral Falls I began to pick my path back to my big blue truck and head home.

Not really. It’s a public place. By unexpected bath I mean that somebody has slipped in the mud and fallen into the water.
The person who got me started in photography commented on Facebook about a wedding shoot he had there and the bride and groom both fell into the water.

I meant for there to be a little humor in the story. The trail is notorious for people slipping.

Thank you Brenda ❤ The rock formations that it's in form a bowl shape that we call a natural Cathedral. A lot of locals hold weddings there. 😊

Such a stunning photograph and place, Lloyd, I would love to visit someplace like this once again. Last time was Wales which if you love the countryside you will very much enjoy, South Wales in particular.
