Do we have to get up so early?
speedcenter2001:
Burning pine needles
speedcenter2001:
That last sugar boost before we leave the store behind
speedcenter2001:
Root beer for breakfast. Wow
speedcenter2001:
Hey, it's good
speedcenter2001:
Hi
speedcenter2001:
Filling up with fluids and sugar before heading into the Rainbow Fire burn zone
speedcenter2001:
You better tank up on fluids before heading out there
speedcenter2001:
Our route takes us down to Rainbow Falls and Fish Valley again
speedcenter2001:
It'll look like this for decades to come
speedcenter2001:
We are the first to head to Rainbow Falls this morning
speedcenter2001:
Learning about the Rainbow Fire
speedcenter2001:
A few lone surviving trees in a forest of burnt stumps
speedcenter2001:
And there's the rainbow from Rainbow Falls
speedcenter2001:
Rainbow Falls in the morning - the light is better in the aftenoon down here
speedcenter2001:
But with the aid of HDR, we can make it look a little better
speedcenter2001:
Damien at the lookout point
speedcenter2001:
Water chewing on the basalt rock
speedcenter2001:
Another HDR image of the fall area
speedcenter2001:
Over the edge at 1/8th of a second
speedcenter2001:
Sahde welcomes us
speedcenter2001:
Moving on towards Fish Valley we finally reach live trees
speedcenter2001:
Damien drops some logs into the water for a big splash
speedcenter2001:
Break for Claire
speedcenter2001:
Heading out into the open along the canyon
speedcenter2001:
Everything is blooming at this low elevation
speedcenter2001:
We hit the granite trail section
speedcenter2001:
Blasted trail for horse travel
speedcenter2001:
Polished granite above the blasted trail
speedcenter2001:
The river is far below and only polished rock between us and the drop
