EISPIRATEN

Last week I hiked to Dawn Mine in search of mushrooms. Lots of water in the canyon and many, many stream crossings. I managed to keep my shoes dry with all the skipping, hopping and jumping over rocks.
Anyways, I found a few mushrooms but nothing really worth posting.
The waterfalls and mini cascades were more interesting.

The big falls is Millard? Looks It's flowing well.

Yes its Millard Falls.

Most water I've see up there! WOW!

The shot of the 'succulent'-like plant...I don't know what kind of plant that is, but have seen it before. There is a roadside rock along Mt Wilson Rd that faces the road, nearly vertical, nearly rectangular. It's split into 4 quadrants, not equal but symmetric. That plant grows about once every 3 years right out of the middle junction of the quadrants. It's odd, but I consider that rock to be sacred/holy in a way. "Shrine it off!!!"

Cool! I'll check it out next time I hike Wilson. There were quite a few succulents on the trail.

I think it's a "dudleya"

It's a lot more fun to just power through the water!

Definitely but I forgot my water sandals

Great Pictures! I went to the base of that two tier waterfall visible from the Mount Lowe road last fall for the first time. I bet Millar is really nice now too given all of the rain.

Yeah, probably Dudleya; that genus of succulent is known to grow on vertical faces around these parts
