Story

We took the 11-year-old Scouts to Cascade Falls as part of our August camp out.

Before we started the hike, we walked down to a ledge near the parking lot to admire the view. Elijah got going too fast, tripped on a tree root, and got some nice road rash. After we got Elijah fixed up, we started on the hike.

Cascade Falls was only running at a trickle when we went. The boys really enjoyed this easy hike.

When we were all done, we piled in the cars and drove to the Cedar Breaks National Monument where we visited the Point Supreme Overlook then hiked to Spectra Point.
