Alsea Falls and Green Peak Falls

On Saturday we went to pick strawberries and after ward we headed to see some more falls. We went to Alsea Falls recreational site. Alsea falls is just a few hundred yards from the parking lot. There is also a trail to follow through the woods along the creek that comes out at Green Peak Falls. It was a mile hike to the falls and it was so hot. But once we got there, we were able to put our feet into the cool creek water. While we were there, some other people came down and were catching crawdads to cook for dinner. After relaxing and cooling off for a while, we headed back to the car. This hike seems to be the hardest one we have done so far. I am not sure if it was, or if it just felt like it because it was so hot. Either way, it was fun and exhausting.

L didn't like the cold water too much.

K didn't mind the cold water too much.
After a while she got used to it, she just didn't
like the sharp rocks too much.
