During yesterday's hike, the star performer was the river roaring through the gorge. The tremendous rains that we have endured for the last month have caused the river to overflow its banks. We could hear the deep booming sound of the flow long before we climbed down into the gorge.
This is the highest that I have seen the river in all of the years that I have been here , though the debris lining the banks indicated that the water has recently reached further afield than what we saw.
Even the geese were reluctant to enter the water and could be seen huddling on rocks above the foam. I hope that their nests were not washed away but, the likely hood of that happening is pretty high.
Given some time and sunny weather, the river will subside and return to it's normal course. However, with the current forecasts for rain this week, I am not crossing my fingers that it will be any time soon.

That is amazing. I pictured it in my mind but it’s a lot higher than I thought it would be. Really good pictures.
Loved the last one but then I really like trees. The reflections were great.

You should have heard the roaring sound. We could hear it from the parking lot.
