After just a taste of the climb to come, hikers are treated to an view of the Lower Falls of Enfield Creek. I call them the Wedding Cake. Summertime, a dam is erected, the water is deep enough to dive into the very cold creek water, lower than 70 degrees.
The trail is on a beetling crag.
Looking up Enfield Glen above the falls. Up to the trail, keeping distance was no problem. It is nowhere near as crowded as the trail to Taughannock Falls in February.
Waterfalls are also such a symbol of hope to me for some reason. The water is pushed around and rushed into the unknown but somehow find their way once they get over the drop.
