Fall Creek Falls amphitheater covered in ice and snow
It was relatively warm on January 8th, 2014 when I went to Fall Creek Falls. After several days of temperatures hovering around 0 - 5 degrees Fahrenheit (-18 to -15C to everyone not in the United States) a jump to just above freezing genuinely felt warm.
I hiked to the bottom of the falls, removing a substantial amount of debris from the trail; Frost covered trees unable to hold their own weight break, and fall down to the trail below, icicles and ice dropping from the cliffs above, even a few rocks.
But the pictures... That's why you're here, right? That's why I was there. Check this out...
