Laurel Falls Icicle Hike

What started as a short hike along the creek ended up a hike to Laurel Falls. The icicle were amazing to see on the cool day.

 Marti and Roy led 17 hikers to Laurel Falls in Dayton. Two new hikers joined us today. It was a bit cold with the wind blowing. There were lots of wildflowers along the beautiful creek walk. Yellow trillium was blooming, and we found two Jack in the Pulpit, Pennywort, Toothwort, Rue Anemone. Lots of water coming over the falls. 

After the hike we gathered at Monkey Town Brewery for lunch.

An after work hike with Crystal, her first time to the bottom of Laurel Falls. We really enjoyed the wildflowers and the pretty Richland Creek. We met two hikers that didn't take enough water, but we didn't have any to spare. They were close to the parking lot and we were just getting started. We had a snack at the Falls, Crystal had made cornbread, and it was good. The view was perfect. She shared memories of her brother and her coming to the top of the Falls in the winter time.

We made it out in plenty of time to not get locked in. Gate closes at 7.
