Donut Falls hike

After the first water scare, we decided we'd go on a hike with the rest of the family. Because Connor's shoes and socks were soaked and drying alongside the fire, Ammon decided he would carry him on his shoulders- for the whole hike! I was amazed he was willing to do that because I wouldn't even think of it. Connor would be wearing wet shoes before I'd do that!

Just about everyone went including Ammon's 82 year old grandma. She was amazing and kept up so well, it put us all to shame! We had a hard time finding the falls and first overshot the trail that led to it going too high and then back tracked going too low. We attempted to find it for the third time and finally did. It was quite beautiful. It's neat to see the water gush through a hole in a huge boulder just like a donut hole. Apparently later in the fall, when the water is not as high, you can hike right up to the falls and even walk behind it, getting sprayed by the overflowing water.

Gorgeous views from the overlook onto Donut Falls.

Here are my cute boys before we started up the trail.

Ammon's better side. haha
