We found the coolest place to go hiking!! I have heard of Kanarraville Falls my whole life but I've never been. It was one of our summer goals of things to do. Summer is coming to a close and we decided we better get on it!
The hike starts out on a dirt road for 3/4 of a mile. Jack carried Mark for a while until he got too heavy.
The road starts to wind in and out of a cold river. Shoes get wet and there is lots of avoiding bushes and trees. We stopped for lunch along the trail.
The trail goes along the river for a ways until you get up towards a slot canyon. The canyon narrows and creates waterfalls. It was like a mini subway and so beautiful.
Mark was riding in the baby backpack but Mikayla walked almost the whole way! It was about 4 miles total. The first waterfall had a ladder and after the first waterfall, Merril and Mark hung back because Mark wanted out of the backpack for a while.
The rest of us hiked up to the 2nd waterfall and then came back down.
It was a fun hike but towards the end, Merril had to run back to do some work he'd promised. By then, I had Mark in the backpack and Mikayla was starting to slow down. The older kids kind of took off to get back to the car as quick as possible. I ended up carrying Mikayla in my arms and Mark on my back for part of the time. Woosh! That was a lot of work but it was so pretty and we had a great time.
