Good news work canceled the over time that was scheduled for this weekend, so with that said, My husband and I will be bushwhacking the Clifty Creek canyon on Sunday. we will be at the borden creek trail head around 8am if any one is interested. I know some of you are going to parker/quillan  today. I am looking forward to seeing lots of photos from that trip

Good News there is a trail to Clifty Creek Falls.The day started out rather cloudy and a little chilly,but by noon the sun was out and it warmed up.we parked at the borden creek Trail head. With borden being so high we choose to walk on 224 over the bridge to the cut off for the campsites on the other side of borden. Followed that trail to the jct of clifty and borden. Clifty looked pretty deep at the point and not wanting to swim across to get to trail 207. We kept walking on the trail that ran along this side of the creek. Hopped across two unnamed streams. walked up the second one found a huge waterfall. spent an hour there taking photos. finely getting back on the trail we come to the jct of Clifty and Braziel creek. The trail turns to stay along side clifty creek so we cont. to follow it. at this point the trail does get a little hard to follow at points make sure you have a map.  Staying on the trail does not always provide the best views of the creek, but the walking is much easier and it will lead you right to clifty creek falls. Warning when you come into the canyon were the falls are be very careful of your footing the trail is high on canyon side, very slippery, and very narrow the trail looks like a billy goat made it. It is a long hike but worth it. there are a few side streams that run into clifty that are worth exploring so we will be going back in the next few weeks.we pasted a few good campsites a long the way. I will be posting photos soon.

Cool pictures. They look excellent. I'm like Bear, wish I were there instead of here!

So, how do you like photoworkshop? I thought about it, but just haven't gone that route yet.

 I have a love/hate relationship with photoshop. But I have to have it. I use adobe lightroom to narrow down the photos and do some minor adjustments  then put them in PS to finnish.
