Thursday morning we headed up to a waterfall in the mountains. There were 18 people with us so we brought 3 vehicles. The trip up to the waterfall was very exciting. We left town and followed the road up towards Switzerland. You could see the architecture change as we got closer. When we reached the mountain where the waterfall was, we began doing switchbacks to get up the rest of the way. For those of us who were sitting on the passenger side it was an incredible, although scary view. When you looked out the window you were either looking down into the ravine, aka the side of the cliff, or you were looking at a wall that was so close you could touch it. The scariest part was when you passed someone going the opposite direction. The lanes are just big enough for 2 vehicles to pass. The photo you see is us in the middle of a switchback turn as we met a large truck coming down. We did not see him until the last second and everyone in the van screamed like we were going down a roller coaster hill. Fortunately we made it up the mountain with our side mirrors attached and everyone intact.
