Tarzan Falls

Tarzan Falls

            A couple of weeks ago we went to a beautiful waterfall called Tarzan Falls. The falls are reached by following a short trail, and the trail head is right off one of the roads. We hiked it in the dry season, so the puddles were only about half a foot deep and you could walk around them. In someplaces the trail was very steep going down and if it were the rainy season, hikers would be covered in mud. After about 15 minutes of walking we reached the top of the waterfall. The picture to the right is what the river leading to the falls looks like. The picture below is what the falls looked like from the top.

 From the top of the falls we followed a short but steep trail to the river below, which was about 100 feet from the base of the falls. The below picture are what the falls look like from the bottom. Everyone got in the water when we got to the bottom because it was so hot. During the wet season the water is so deep that people jump from the top of the falls into it but when we where there it was only a 3-4 feet deep. After swimming for a little while we went to explore down river, and my dad scared my mom with a piece of rope that looked like a snake. (Still haven't seen a brown tree snake.)

After exploring for a bit we hiked back up to the top of the falls and looked around for a bit, then headed back up the trail. The trail, which was hard going down, was exhausting going back up. But when we got to the top we decided to go to Yogurt Land so it was alright.
