Pausing at another overlook with a fantastic view

Another chaparrel tunnel where the light was dimmer than elsewhere.

Climbing down to stream level
|
|
|
 |
Jackson Falls is completely dry, even though there's water in the stream a few hundred feet below. The water flows underground here.

Climbing back up to the Last Chance Trail

Jackson Falls is below us somewhere
