2017.12.30 Franklin Falls

12/30, Saturday. Overcast, rain at times. Franklin Falls's 2 mile RT turns to 6 miles in winter, after the road is gated, soon after you exit #47 of I-90. Despite of the added length and weather, lots of people here today.

The walk on the road is wide, and fine in boots. If you have homes along this road, you can drive in. The trail has more snow, and micro-spikes come in handy. But possible to walk the entire 6 mile RT in boots, just be careful. Snow is not thick enough to use snowshoes. The cabins at the beginning of the trail looks rather nice under snowy canopies looking over rushing Denny Creek.

The waterfall is in full force, with added icicles all around. Very very pretty. The mist and cold weather was fogging up my photo's lens or adding water droplets on it, rendered my photos fuzzy.
