The first set of falls that I approached were the Susan Creek Falls. It was a rather easy hike back to one of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen.
I then chose to continue 0.4 miles directly vertical up the mountain to the Susan Creek Indian Mounds. While I was defying gravity, I took notice to some barefoot footprints and canine prints next to it. I was hoping I wasn't going to run into a rabid hippie or old Indian (or bigfoot) on top of this mountain.
The next set of falls on the list were the Fall Creek Falls. This trip was a moderate hike back in through volcanic rock full of smaller falls along the river. On the trip out, I was all alone enjoying the scenery. After enjoying the falls, I was headed back when I saw a large paw print that resembled a mountain lion print. Note: I'm in the heart of mountain lion country. Stupid Note: I am hiking alone. I was convinced I was being stalked so instead of taking a picture of the print and having someone find a bloody camera with a picture of a paw print on it, I opted to forget the picture and leave with my life. The rest of the day, I was convinced I was being stalked by cougars. Welcome to my adventure. (I'm currently watching 15 Incredible Survival Stories which included a story of a cougar attack on a girl who was mountain biking while she was riding with other people.)
