Staying at Glen Aulin is quite nice. We managed to land what the camp manager stated was the “best tent they had, right next to the falls.” These were those falls.

We were probably 50 feet away from the water’s edge and the lull was quite nice. During the day the beach area around the falls is full of hikers lounging around – some of which were so bold as to go for a swim. While it was mid-august and the air temperature was in the high 80s the water had to have been in the 50s (and crystal clear). I went in up to about my waist and i held it there.

Between our post-hike snack (Clif Bars and Jack Daniels) and the cold water coming back was quite welcoming.
