Waterfall Glen 🥾🌻

This is a beautiful and peaceful park, but don’t be like me and end up on the wrong side and never see the waterfall 🫠.

Waterfall Glen is about 11 miles around, there is a shortcut to get to the waterfall by way of the waterfall fall parking lot, but please verify before you go. My memory cannot be trusted at this point.

Nonetheless the path I chose still yielded a pleasant experience in 99 degree weather. I made it about 5 miles before I realized… hey! I’m going the wrong way.

Anywho, enjoy the photos I collected on my trip to the wrong side of Waterfall Glen as you add this location to your summer walking adventure list.

Oh, its blistering outside, font forget your sunscreen 🧴
