I haven't been to Twin Falls for ages. It's a nice family hike close to the city. I used my umbrella.
A very nice water seep and dripped over the rocks.
Nearby, we scrambled down to the 2nd pool on this photo, which was taken from a foot bridge.
It would be a good swimming pool on a hot day.
Today it was muggy. The rain did stop by the time we arrived at the pool.
Need to be careful on the now-wet rocks.
Continued on the trail, connecting to Palouse to Cascades trail.
Shortly after, we took the right hill to Mount Washington.
On the way, saw this rock with many climbing hooks.
Plenty fireweeds blooming near the summit. Very few lupines.
View of the Cedar River watershed.
Took a long break at the rocks here, about 40 minutes.
Before hiking down, we walked up to the true summit in the trees, peeking towards I-90. It started to rain again.
When we returned to the parking lot, it was very busy. The rain had stopped. One way 5.7 miles, 4100' gain, 400' loss. A nice outing on a wet day, and a good workout.
On the drive home, traffic on I-90 over Lake Washington. A lot of people. Blue Angles were flying.
