The man who is blindfolded in this picture was our hiking guide. He got to experience what it was like to hike blind for a short stretch on the last day.
This is where we stopped the first day to have lunch. It was a nice spot with a couple picnic tables and a beautiful little pond.
In June 2006, I accompanied a group of blind hikers. It was a three day hike in the mountains of Switzerland. We stayed in mountain chalets, which was very fun and different for me. The leader of the group was Daniel Kish, from California, who is a teacher of echolocation.
This is my favorite picture of the falls that I took. I don’t know particularly why though. From the top of the rock I took a picture almost straight down and this is what I got.
Is it just me, or is this water coming right at us? This picture really captured what it was like to look out from the top of the rock.
Finally at the top of the rock. Looking down at the falls now. The water is so loud, that you have to practically yell to talk to anyone.
This is the second break on the way up the steps. This little outlook was so close to the raging waters that you were in a cloud of mist.
As we climed the steps to the top of the rock, there were a couple other places to overlook the falls and take a break. Here is a great picture of just how strong this falls is.
After taking the boat over to the Observation Rock, I took a close up picture of the smaller side of the falls. It is not as big, but still beautiful.
