While it was drizzly and yucky here in the Tumwater area, we enjoyed sun & 75 degree weather on our Yoh! hike at Angel & Curtain Falls in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. We saw two beautiful waterfalls, tons of slugs & gross black bugs, as well as some really cool rock formations. The hike took us up & down some very big hills, but it was worth the effort to view the beautiful falls at the end. In all we hiked 4.5 miles. It was a lot of fun!

 |
| These huge rock formations were really neat, but the ledge/trail was really narrow in spots with a huge drop on one side. There were some people poking around in the caves. |

 |
| Pam got to star in most of my photos because she stayed behind with me so I wouldn't get lost. I'm always the last one! |

| How it looked from the other side. It was NOT very steady. |
 |
| Angel Falls. It is approximately 175 feet high. |
 |
| Those bugs we saw. They were everywhere! |
 |
| The trail is a figure eight. After Angel Falls we came back onto the other side of Curtain Falls. The view is much better from this side. |
 |
| Curtain Falls is approximately 75 feet high. You can see Tammy & Lily walking behind it. |
