We were here to hike and decided to do the Minnehaha trail. Once we got to the parking area, Nolan said we should take the Eagle Trail and I am so glad we did. |
The trail is described as a 2 mile, steep, rocky descent to Eagle Bay and it starts dropping right away. |
Once we got to the lower slopes, there were a few places with boardwalks. |
You really had to watch where you stepped so you didn't twist an ankle. |
Once we got down to shore level there weren't very many places were you could actually get to the water. |
Horseshoe Island |
Then we got to the rocky section where we had to climb up and down to navigate the path. |
Here you can see two levels of cliffs. See the upper ones in the tree break? |
Then we get to the place where the cliffs are very high and sometimes overhanging the trail. |
The trail had collapsed here. There was even a sign that had fallen down the slope. |
A dead tree had fallen over still gripping a boulder it had grown around. |
Time to start the climb back to the top. |
The trail goes part way up then turns to the right. See the blue sign on the tree? |
Once back up to the road, we stopped at Eagle Terrace. |
The tower is now considered unsafe to climb and it may be dismantled. |
