Boone Fork Hike

I'd never seen a real beaver dam before, so this was a treat. As we hiked along, I notices tree stumps that were obviously the work of beavers, then suddenly up ahead we spotted the dam. Absolutely amazing.
We had several stream crossings on this hike. Some were "rock to rock" crossings, and some were "rolling log" crossings. Most of us managed to stay dry, but I did see the advantage a walking stick would have given!

At the upper elevations, the trees are almost all bare--a stark contrast from last week's glorious yellow!
