Falls of Foyers

We wanted to go somewhere close as the weather was looking good, so a google search came up with the Falls of Foyers.  Lexie came with us to show the way.
Lexie was our backseat driver.
Lexie guided us to the right place.

Although Inverness is the capital of the Highlands, it is quite easy to get around.  The road to Foyers was narrow, sometimes going to to one lane, with pull overs for passing.  We've run into these sort of roads before, all over the UK.

The hike to the falls was steps down with switchbacks.  Everything was wet; of course it had rained most of the night.

I think Bill is happy to be here!
There were two view points; one from the top and the other from the bottom.  Both had mist spraying and water drops soaking everything as well as every one.  Coming from the Arizona desert, this was glorious!
