At last, the upper pool!

A slide feeds water into the pool
|

 |
The water is clear and refreshing!

Above the upper pool, the creek continues much the same. This was as far as we went, a few hundred yards past the upper pool
|
|
 |
The water in the upper pool is crystal clear

Heading down from the upper pool
|
|
|
 |
Apporaching the barrier rock that would prove difficult to get back down
|
|
|
 |
Getting a firm grip on the barrier rock while trying to find the way back down
|

 |
"Mountain Goat" Matt scampered down the barrier rock and directed our movements from below. Without his help we might still be on that little cliff!

The falls immediately below the barrier rock

Instead of heading straight back down the canyon, we took a side trip up the Last Chance Trail. This view is back down the canyon from a short way up the trail.
