Akaka Falls State Park
/
Akaka Falls State Park is a 400+ foot waterfall with a nice loop trail. The trail is paved which a good thing because the place is very wet; the penalty for stepping off is sinking into mud! The first view of the falls is partially obscured by foliage.Then there is a bend of the trail and more of the falls comes into view.
Finally there is an overlook.
I took several zoomed images as well.
There are lots of smaller watercourses through the foliage too…the place is wet!
It is a place of ferns unfurling
And moss growing even on the metal railings of the path.
There are interesting roots too – aerial
And embracing rocks.
I noticed more insects here too – an ant
And a small grasshopper.
There was a lizard eyeing us from leaves too.
There were lots of different flowers too. The place is full of blooming plants.
