Nope, w...Thanks Steve for your very nice comments!<br /><br />Nope, we didn’t make it to the upper level at Bridal Veil. I started the approach to it, but another downpour of rain began, and so I did a quick retreat to join Marty who had wisely already taken cover at the nearby lean-to shelter.<br /><br />Regarding Sleeper Brook, although the approach route I used is a bit lengthy, it goes quickly since the terrain along the river is relatively flat, and the woods are very open.<br /><br />And yes, those funky violet-like wildflowers that I came across were a surprise. Maybe a scientific name needs to be generated, perhaps something like Viola Saco? :-)<br /><br />John1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541721184143597039.post-62279650806744730422011-05-22T23:48:55.732-04:002011-05-22T23:48:55.732-04:00Great assortment of photos, John! Looks like Beave...Great assortment of photos, John! Looks like Beaver Brook was really rocking. That fallen tree has kind of mucked things up at the lowest cascade.<br /><br />Did you guys go to the upper level at Bridal Veil, or was there too much water? Holden is a pretty one, have only seen it buried in snow.<br /><br />Kudos for exploring up Sleeper Brook. That valley has always looked intriguing, but the long approach along the river always deterred me from going there.<br /><br />Never seen violets that looked like those - neat!<br /><br />Excellent exploring!<br /><br />SteveSteve Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403760631302934834noreply@blogger.com
