St. Regis Waterfall - Part 2

The dogs and I had just hiked in to a waterfall on the St. Regis River (see also yesterday's post) and were heading upstream to the top of the waterfall:

Things looked different from the top, but continued to be wild and lovely:

We climbed higher and the river began to fall below us:

The little dogs walked the rocky ridge, but Seamus and I, being old, lame and clumsy, took the safer, lower route to the right:

We came to a spot where it was cool and scenic. It would have been nice to stop there for lunch, but I hadn't brought one:

It was a wonderful spot in an idyllic Adirondack forest:

The little dogs explored while Seamus and I rested our old bones:

We had arrived at a spot rather high above the river and I wanted to be sure that Seamus and I stayed away from the edge. I called the little dogs away from it also if they seemed too bold:

A bit more exploring until the trail just seemed to end:

So we turned back toward the waterfall. Of course Clover and Daphne, always the bold explorers and adventurers, had to climb down the rocks to see what was there:

Daphne sure looked happy!

We arrived back at the top of the waterfall and took a look down the river. But we weren't done yet. I'll post Part 3 tomorrow:
