Salome Creek

The steep, smooth canyon walls require either rappeling or swimming in order to negotiate the entire length of the canyon. Tahoe was against both, so sometimes we had to climb up and go around particularly difficult spots.

I think I saw this frog last year. He's smiling, so he must be glad to see me too.

Tahoe had a blast boulder hopping and splashing through the water.

I found the perfect tent spot on a flat and sandy rock outcropping. At dusk, I fed the fish (they like peas and noodles) and watched two bats flutter through the canyon.
