The beauty of greenery along the trails was breathtaking.
A little cascade along Roaring Fork (creek), with our first glimpse of Grotto Falls way up in the background.

Another cascade just before Grotto Falls.
Our first stopping point--Grotto Falls. It was a small falls, and there were LOTS of people everywhere, so we didn't stick around long.
Our destination was further up the trail--to the top of Trillium Gap, and from there to the top of Brushy Mountain. Kristina wanted some good mountain veiws. :)

We made it! At the top of Trillium Pass, exactly 3 miles from our car, and nearly all of it steady climbing in elevation.
Kristina hiked faster the closer we got. She was SO excited to get to the top of Brushy Mountain!
Poor Daniel had a hard time keeping up with her...
The trail was full of water--it was like walking up a creek bed! But we could see the top just ahead.
You can see why this mountain was named "Brushy Mountain." Check out the height of the brush compared to Kristina! It was like walking through a jungle--the only thing above us was sky!
Our first glimpse of the surrounding mountains!
Our view from the top! Totally worth the hike! :) The camera just doesn't do it justice at ALL!
Un oh... look out in the distance! There's a rainstorm headed straight for us, and we have over 3.5 miles to hike back to our car! We headed back down the mountain at top speed!
Back down the mountain--just passed Grotto Falls, less than a mile left to our car. It was sprinkling, but we were doing fine.
