Rumbling around Platte Clove

Unread post by mike »

I had planned on hiking to Bear's Den on the Escarpment Trail. As I approached the region, there were so many cars and hikers I decided to hike in a more remote region. I headed down to Platte Clove. When I got there, there were hundreds of cars parked on both sides of the road. It is the most cars I have ever seen there. I decided to do some photography. I headed down to Bridal Veil Lookout. Took some pics. Then headed to Plattekill Falls. Took some more pictures. Not that many people there. Then I headed down towards the top of Bridal Veil Falls. I never climb down to the top of the Falls because it is too dangerous without being tied up. I then wondered about. Not that much hiking, but some nice views. Here are a couple of my photos:
