Story

We did a quick evening hike with the Parkers to Double Falls. I was very surprised we hadn't heard of this hike before now. The waterfall was very fun, and we forged a path down to the bottom of the falls. The west side was definitely more accessible. One the hike back, it was dusk, and we got eaten alive by mosquitoes.
