Early April the Gorge Trail along Lucifer Falls is closed, here we look up to the falls in flood from a safe distance.

The Rim Trail gate to the Cliff Stairs is open. We are headed that way.
These shots were hand held. I used a Sony Alpha 700 dslr with a variable “zoom” lens, great for framing compositions.

Rim Trail Ascent
We didn’t cross the creek to get to the cliff staircase. Instead, we returned the way we’d come so I could stay closer to Lucifer Falls and the creek upstream of it to take more pictures.

Great choice for a first time visit. Walking up is an entirely different experience. Cheers
