Over the river and up the cliff to the abandoned restaurant we go...

Last summer the abandoned restaurant on the cliffs above Bridal Veil Falls burned down. Since then, I have been anxious to return and check out the damage. I took my friend Nick with me and we made the hike this afternoon. It's a shame there's no longer a deck to sit on and enjoy the stunning view, and the place where Mark, Jared, Travis and I carved our names into the counter is obviously gone too, but the skeleton structure and twisted metal left an interesting new destination to explore. Most of all, it was just a great day to get outside and go hiking.

Just pondering.
