Waterfall, unexpected delight at Smith Rock

The first time Brad and I enjoyed Smith Rock, this waterfall was not flowing with so much water. Still, there was enough to play in and that's what we did. We forded the river, climbed the ridge and played in the water. Nice cooling draught after hiking Misery Ridge on Smith Rock in July's heat. :-)
