Our parking spot for the hike. A typical view along the trail. Moderate hills along the way. Crossing one of the creeks! Lots of tall, straight timber. Looking down onto Smith Creek. Our approach to the falls. Beautiful Anna Ruby Falls! We appreciate this sign for the mathematically impaired! The OFHC Gang for the day.
