We began our hike with a boat ride across Jenny Lake to the Mount St. John peak. The map said that Hidden Falls was about .5 miles, and that did not seem too bad......
After climbing many steps, we got to the real starting place for our climb....
It didn't take long to find the snow line -- and the slippery slopes! It got colder too!
Neal found sturdy sticks for balance.
After what seemed more like 5 miles than .5 miles, we arrived at the falls. The view was beautiful!
The climb down proved harder than the climb up -- the snow was hardpacked and mixed with mud and water in places, so it was easy to get off balance and slide.
I fell once when my stick broke, but I fell in the snow not the mud, so it wsn't too bad.
By the time we got back to the boat we were hungry and ready for lunch!
