There were a bunch of entertaining chipmunks running around, mugging for the camera, as well. They are the unofficial mascot of Seven Falls. So cute!
The falls themselves were beautiful, especially from the primary viewing platform where all seven were visible (see first photo). There were platforms right next to the falls as well, affording this close-up view.
The serious drawbacks to all these advantageous views were the many many stairs. It was A LOT of stairs, 408 to be exact. This was especially challenging, given my aversion to heights on manmade structures (it's weird, right?). Plus the altitude, yikes! Talk about breathing hard.
But hey, at least the terrifying stairs were environmentally friendly.
What awesome touristy stuff do you like to do in your town?
If I saw a sign that told me I was halfway to the top, I would probably just despair lol.
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous - great photos!
The place in Yellowstone that I mentioned is Uncle Tom's Stairway, 328 steps. And that was when I was young(er) and spry. I can't imagine 408, damn!
Yeah, that sign was not encouraging. Even my mom, who is in way better shape than me and not afraid of heights, was struggling on those stairs.
ReplyDeleteI want to go to Yellowstone. It's just so beautiful there! I have this road trip planned in my head that goes there and Yosemite and Glacier and then over to Oregon.
Those are some really nice shots. I especially like the first one. 408 steps, wow! That's higher than the Universal 'Star'way at 380.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And to clarify, it's actually two staircases to 2 different platforms that add up to the 408 steps. I don't think I was clear on that.
