Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Dry Creek Waterfall

I hooked up with Kris and Ray from the Petaluma Paddlers to paddle out to the falls on Dry Creek. It is about an 11 miles round trip from the Yorty Creek launch counting paddling and hiking. The water in the creek was in perfect shape for wading and swimming in the deep pools below the waterfall.

We had a great shore lunch and then headed up to the falls. On the way back we hit every pool for a quick swim.

Wine and great food from Kris and Ray.

Another shallow wade.
Lush and clear.
Nearing the falls area.
A gorgeous, relatively unknown area.
The falls area.
Almost there.

Falls with deep pools.

We are heading back...
Dipping into each pool along the way.

Ray and Kris swim a nice one.
