Skyline Trail: Walking Through a Fairytale

We initially set out on Dead Horse Creek Trail (2 miles), but thick fog and clouds made us rethink our hike. With the views shrouded, we turned around and made our way to Myrtle Falls (0.9 miles) instead. Myrtle Falls was absolutely stunning, cascading down the rocks like a giant spider web. Along the way, I spotted a big, fluffy hoary marmot and its baby, which was a cute surprise! The scene felt straight out of a fairytale, especially with the bridge visible in the distance. The park's wildflowers added even more beauty to the trail, making it a memorable experience despite the foggy start.
