Rogie Falls

Waterfalls are everywhere, from tiny trickles, to roaring wonders.  We have decided to see as many of them as possible.  This usually involves a hike up and down, over damp to soggy ground, but it is worth it.  Rogie Falls, however, was set up for people to easily visit.  The path is wide and hard packed, with only a couple of muddy spots.  There are a few big rocks sticking up, which one can navigate around with no problems.

The trail was through a forest of mixed trees and lower growing bushes.  The leaves on several were changing into their fall colors.  Rowan trees were hanging down with red berries.  

We could hear the falls before seeing them.  The Black River comes tumbling over the granite cliffs, squeezing together as the canyon narrows.  This is an area which is famous for salmon. There is a fish ladder carved into one side, to make it easier for the breeding pairs to make it up river.

While we were enjoying the falls, a couple on holiday from England, arrived.  She wanted to know if we had seen any salmon; we had not. He exclaimed over the sun shining. She wanted to see wildlife; deer, salmon, even highland cows.  We had a laughed at highland cows included with wildlife.  

Back at the parking lot, we did encounter a Robin, our wildlife spotting for the morning.
