Long Hike to Bridal Veil Falls

Dr. K on the bridge over Fresnal Creek

Dr. K, Becca and I did a nice, long hike down to Bridal Veil Falls, and we didn't run into any other outdoor enthusiasts until we had nearly returned to the trailhead.  Oddly, even though some of these images make it look as if it was really cold out there, the weather was quite nice.  About one-fourth of the way back from the falls I had to remove my jacket because I felt too warm.  Not bad for November 29th in the high desert near High Rolls/Mountain Park New Mexico.
