This was a very easy 4 mile walk on an old railroad bed along Big Creek. The two big attractions beside the creek, are Midnight Pool, seen above and Mouse Creek Falls, seen below. After passing Midnight Pool we saw a couple kayakers paddling down the creek. I wanted desperately to video them as they went over the fall into the pool, but we were too far upcreek to view that.
Mouse Creek enters Big Creek from the opposite as the trail. You get a great view of the falls looking across Big Creek. As you may be able to make out, the upper fall enters a pool before dropping into Big Creek. It is pretty noisy here.
For a lot of the hike, the trail is creekside. Here we are right next to the creek. On our way back we again encountered the kayakers. I tried to set up for another video in a long stretch of tight chutes and technical turns. I waited about 20 minutes before thinking they may have portaged around us. Just within a minute, we saw them pass by but by that time we were back on the trail and did not have a clear view.
