Marble Falls

At present, deep snow crushes trails in the High Sierra. In fact, the NPS Sequoia website said mountain passes may not be open until early August. few lower elevation paths are open, such as the Marble Falls trail out of Potwishia. Rivers and waterfalls are engorged with snowmelt right now. I hiked the Marble Falls trail on April 30th, 2011.

The river started getting loud around here:

Marble Falls is actually several continual cascades, the highest of which are hidden above cliffs.

My words won't add anything to the below pictures, so I'm stopping here.

I didn't actually get that close. It's just zoom power.

This trail was located behind Arroyo Verde Park. It had no name I'm aware of.
