Gary, Faith, Tim, Pam & Walt in the background ... at the beginning the hike ... this fall is up the Big Creek Trail on the slopes of Mount Sterling.

Another pic of the group before heading up the Big Creek Trail ... now you can see Walt & Gary a little better!

Mouse Creek Falls is a 50 foot drop cascade at the mouth of Mouse Creek

... several streams twine together to pass through a four foot opening before spreading again to form a wide base of falling water

... a small pool at the base slows the water as it crosses an old logging railroad bed ... the water then cascades another 10 feet to join Big Creek.

The group at the top of the trail ... we look a little bit more tired, don't we? ... well, this included getting caught in a thunderstorm!
