Lampson Falls, Part 2

I had hiked in to Lampson Falls on the Grasse River with my sister, my niece and five dogs. We knew that it would soon begin raining, so had chosen this series of waterfall hikes because they were relatively short and all in a row. If and when it began to rain, we'd be able to return to the car in without a lengthy hike. And the Grasse River, just downstream from the falls, was wondrous:

We explored the rocks:

My niece took a snapshot of her beloved dog, Madeline:

And my sister did a bit of rock hopping with Madeline while Seamus waded in a secluded pool:

A quiet moment of joy and wonder in a wild, scenic environment:

My sister and my niece took a brief rest downstream from Lampson Falls:

We began walking back toward the car, but this time took a different route:

And got ourselves a bit lost:

We had to backtrack in order to find the trail again:

I know that trail is around here somewhere:

But of course we found the trail and resumed our hike back toward the car:

It was quite early in the morning, but we were trying to beat the rain. Everyone was happy. It had begun to sprinkle off and on. Would we be able to visit another waterfall or two before it really began to rain? Stay tuned:
