Claire and Briar came down to join us around noon. So we all set off to find another interesting trail!
This trail was a no go. Well, that was ok because in the opposite direction pets were allowed!
A pano shot of the Little Niagara on the Travertine Trail!
Here was the sign with its history!
Briar was a bit concerned when I went closer to the falls. She is not a water dog. LOL.
The Little Niagara is about nine feet high. The roar of the water was loud! This area is easy to access with a parking lot right next to it. We were viewing it from the trail side.
There are numerous small white water, but no others like the Little Niagara.
Claire spotted the less common script lichen. It is the one that looks like little tiny black squiggles.
Trying to get a photo of fish. Instead I got a nice reflection of the Sycamore! 🙂
These were the first fish we saw in the creek.
Ok, here I was looking at the branch which looked like a horned creature. Jim kept telling it was a shark. No way!
Well, it turned out we were looking at different trees. LOL.
A Soapberry was loaded!
The Red-shouldered Bug (Jadera haematoloma) often can be found near a Soapberry like it was that day. However they do feed on other plants but favor those in the Sapindaceae family.
Jim and I had done the trail the day before. It leads to Antelope and Buffalo Springs. I guess the park didn’t want pets at the source of the spring.
Poor briar. Banned from some probably good stuff. Love that waterfall. Great pics.

What a wonderful place to explore!
I thought the tree reflection was a sky shot – pretty cool effect!
I was slightly annoyed at the photo for a moment because I was zooming in to get a pic of the fish. 😂
I agree with Jeanne – until I read the caption of the sycamore reflection photo, I thought you were looking up at the sky! So perfect!
