Lupin Falls

On the opposite side of the Buttle Lake road than the lake is a forested area with a path that leads to Lupin Falls.  This smaller waterfall is quite nice and not actually so entirely tiny.

Here the stream winds through the trees and mossy rocks.

There were lots of dead fall logs in the stream.  Of course the water just flows over and around them.

Brett's been so kind here as to illustrate the scale of things.

A little more zoomed in.

And we finally got to the falls themselves.  There was a main drop then a level bit and then another shorter drop.

 Then we crossed back over the little bridge to climb up a bit of dirt and rock to get to the higher part of the falls.

Woodpeckers had had a field day with this old, dead stump.

There's Brett at the upper area of the falls.  The scramble trail we'd climbed didn't go any further.  We looked around a little bit more, but we'd seen all the good stuff... so it was back to the car and off to see a REAL waterfall.
