Middle Brandy?
I love studying topo maps to try to find new waterfalls. I suspected there might be other waterfalls on Brandy Creek and my goal on Thanksgiving Day was to find them.
I cut down off the main trail and descended the steep terrain to creek level to the spot on my map where I figured there should be a waterfall. Nothing. But not giving up yet, I then traversed downstream. I found something. Two somethings. Unfortunately though, they were small somethings. The upper and prettier something shown here is about 11 ft high. I could not get any closer to the falls than this as that pool is quite deep. The lower falls is about 15 ft high though from certain angles above it looks much higher. It was very cliffy and too difficult to get down to it. If it was bigger I would have attempted it but instead I just took photos of the upper and more photogenic falls. I was bummed these falls were not bigger as I do not think they warrant inclusion on my website. Oh well. I ran out of time to explore as I needed to get to Redding.
On the way back down I passed another group of hikers and then saw more as I drove back down the road. I was surprised. I did not think I’d see anyone out and about on this day. I guess they had the same idea as I did to get a good hike in before eating their big meals.
