A Good Time Was Had By All
All being Me and my better half. Went there instead of Savage Gulf. It was a wonderful, romantic place. Had a great time soaking up all the natural beauty and loving up on my feller. Lots of interesting geology here and history. We visited Burgess Falls State Park to the north. Like it alot. We visited Cummins Falls which turned out to be a pi$$er. Can't get down in the gorge without a rope. Gotta go back and try again. Next time take rope, eight,biners, brain bucket, harness, and gloves. Also will go when the waterflow is much higher.
Make it worth my effort. Went to Arda Lee's Hidden Hollow Park. It is a piece of Americana I'm glad I got to see, but its surely past its prime. That will not be a repeat trip. Rock Island State Park has several waterfalls and it is now my favorite place. Twin Falls was so beautiful I just wept. I know its sappy, but I don't care. Its my favorite. That is one awesome place. Beauty that was unstoppable. Just meant to be.

Here are some pix.
