Rickets Glenn

The Saturday after the 4th of July, some friends and I decided to go hiking at a place called Rickets Glenn. We hadn't thought through holiday-weekend crowds and consequently spent a half hour searching for a parking spot. But once we found one, we grabbed a map from an information desk, and set out. The hike took us past almost ten waterfalls of various sizes. It was absolutely lovely. The weather was pristine. We were hemmed in by this dark, slated rock, and mist rose softly up from the falls. The hike took us from the top of each cascade, to the bottom. So we could revel in every angle. My favorite views were the ones from outcroppings at the top of the falls, where you could step out and look down and the tumbling, fizzing water. There were many people out on holiday hikes, but that didn't prevent us from basking in the glory of God's complex and vibrant creation.
