On the way home, just a little west of Baring, which appears to be more a place on a map than an actual settlement, there is a small area on the side of the road to pull into. And a rocky path down to the banks of the Skykomish River.
On the path on the way down, looking downstream.
The falls, in quiet mode, as this was taken in September, and there had been no rain for several months.
Looking downstream from the falls.
Evidence of the heavy flows during winter and spring, when melting snow brings a great deal of water down the river. And trees also come down the river.
Approaching Index, and the clouds and sun were starting to create interesting effects.
A view from the back yard, looking to the trees to the east, bathed in the light of the setting sun.
