Story

After some people in our group hiked to Myrtle Falls, we regrouped at Edith Gorge Falls. After we all rejoined, we still couldn't leave because someone else from the main group was wanting to go home with us instead of doing the big hike. I was getting antsy by that point and didn't want to spend the whole day waiting for people to figure out what they wanted to do, so Anthony's car and our car split off and went to the eastern end of the park so we could view all of the roadside attractions coming back west. We stopped at a handful of waterfalls and lakes along the road.
