Geo 1095: April 17, Day 837: Gorge-ous

On this trip, we walked down along the gorge below Sahalie Falls, maybe a bit less than half a mile. However, I was leery about earning too much of a return hike back uphill, so I called a halt fairly quickly. The river is beautiful in both sight and sound, and it's impressive to realize just how rapidly it can incise into these recent lava flows. On the other hand, looking at its intense energy here, maybe it's not too surprising.
