High Falls Trail - First View of Falls


This is the scene that greets visitors as they round a bend to approach the falls themselves.  An observation deck is visible at the top of this frame, one of several at this location...I had the urge to spend some time at every one of these, but better judgment persuaded me to stick with the group.
