LITTLE
This is Little New York Canyon Falls, 33 ft. high.
I did not sleep very well. My guess is because my back was hurting too much and I could not get comfortable.
I woke up very early. I wanted to try to get to a new waterfall that I saw on the way down and had not been to before. I thought I made great time climbing 1100 ft. back up the mountain but when I reached the waterfall it was already in full sun. It was only 7AM. Darn it! Well I guess I’m going to have to come back here sometime in the evening before this one dries up for the year.
I found my snowshoes that I left behind the previous day and started hiking back up the Sailor Flat road. This section seemed to take a very long time even though it is only 1.5 miles. Maybe it was the snow. Maybe it was because I was already tired from climbing 1100 ft. out of the canyon. Maybe it was my back. Maybe all of the above. I finally got back to Foresthill Road and pavement. The 4.5 mile road walk back to Ford Point also took an excruciatingly and horribly long time. I sure hope they open this road back up. I’m not hiking from Ford Point again that is for certain. I arrived back at the car by about 10AM and drove home. It was an absolutely amazing overnight trip to see my favorite waterfall.
