too bad the graffiti scrawled over the rocks up there spoiled the view.

Did you walk up the trail from behind the camp site? My picture was taken about 4 years ago, Didn't notice any writing on the rocks. Agree though about ruining the area.

quote mooseplums: "Woodtick, have you ever seen the whole series of falls on the Manitou river? The lower falls is spectacular.Not yet. I've done a lot of hiking on and off trail in Crosby Manitou SP; but most of what I've seen ranges from the upper cascades to about a mile above highway 61. There's a big falls just a little ways above the highway; I think some are calling it 'rain falling up falls'. Some day I'll make my way over to it. I take it you've been there? If so, did you access it from the park's trails to the north or did you hike up from the highway south of the falls? I imagine there are more falls below the highway as well since my topo map is showing another 100+ foot drop in evelation before reaching the lake.

Many years ago, you could hike to the lower falls that drops into lake Superior. Now it is private property and access is prohibited...it still can be viewed but from the lake only.
I was there in the late 70s and there was a roadside business where you could buy a lifetime pass tour the falls above the highway and below.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

quote MHS67: "quote mooseplums: "Munchin "
Its interesting how much longer the ears are on the cottontails out here than in mooseplums photo of your cottontails."
I believe rabbits ears also aid in cooling them off.
When i was in Arizona a few months ago, I noticed how big the desert cottontails ears were compared to the ones in the midwest....I believe that that is why.
