Our guide gave us a choice of two hikes. I’m grateful for whatever moment of clarity made my son pick this “less hazardous” option, because there were several times on this trail when I honestly thought, “If I slip right now, I’ll fall to my death.”

BUT, from this walkway at the top (with a 3,000-foot drop on either side 😳), we could see three separate waterfalls and the most unimaginable beauty.

We returned tired, filthy, scratched up, hungry — and so joyful. 🙌🏻
