The Return to Grover Hot Springs, 2009










This was our third visit to Grover. This time we even got a real mountain thunder storm with lightening and all. We stayed safe and dry in the tent, reading stories, waiting for the rain to pass. The storm gave way to beautiful sunshine with the bluest of blue skies and a show of evening stars.

When we were here last May, the creek was raging with water from the winter thaw. This weekend, it was flowing at the perfect pace for us to explore and dip our feet and little bodies into. We also made the hike to the waterfall, a gentle stroll that became a small climb at the end.

When we had to leave, we said goodbye to Grover, knowing that we shall return again someday, to one of our favorite playgrounds of all!
