heard the roar getting louder
as we came closer to the top
felt the coolness on our skin
as the temperature dropped
the higher we climbed
saw the white spray first
then felt it on our faces
as we watched in awe
the smell of green spruce needles
the slippery smoothness of the rocks
as we stepped gingerly, trying not to slip
was well worth the exertion of this hike

Very literal write. congrats on the shiny. Certainly a very hard prompt to write about.

I love the adventurous feel of this poem. I don't know that I would attempt to climb the Falls but your sense of accomplishments makes me swell. Very graphic imagery shared with the reader. I feel these words. Thank you for this exhilarating entry. I wish you the best in my challenge.
Much Love & Respect ♥

It looks like a long hike too. I am not that brave to hike up a waterfall. I like the black and white picture.
