A few weeks ago, Katie and I explored some waterfalls as part of a special project she's working on. Our first stop was the Grotto in Payson. It's just 1.2 miles round tip, making it a very popular destination. We saw a young family there, and the mom was just letting her toddler play in the water and dirt and rocks and was obviously in no hurry to leave. I thought this was such a sweet way to spend a Saturday morning and something I would love to do with my kids someday.
Our next stop was someplace called Chicken Creek Falls, which is right by a dirt road. We had to scramble down a steep incline and got dirty and scraped up, and it wasn't much of a waterfall. But that's all part of the adventure!
Finally, we hiked to Bullion Falls by Marysvale. I could have sworn I was in the PNW, and I bet it's even more spectacular in the spring. How is this not more of a popular hike?? None of my friends had ever heard of it. Which actually, is kind of nice, and I definitely didn't tag the location on Instagram. (I'm not worried about a million people discovering it through my blog.) It's nice to know there are still beautiful places like this to discover.
Katie and I were together for 12 hours, and it took us just about that long to catch up on everything in each other's lives. It was such a great day!
