Looking down from the Turner Falls Overlook off of US77

The 77ft waterfall was flowing heavily. But the park itself was closed for the season. All trails and buildings were eerily empty.



A fence blocks off neighboring rockfaces from local explorers

Many visitors have left their hellos on the Overlook. Most of the visible messages appeared recent. The rocks themselves have been painted grey (presumably to cover up the older messages)

One of the many many local mesquite trees hanging over the trail.

The area was also covered in cedar trees

The original trail wrapped down and around the hillside, but was blocked off from the Overlook. Many mesquite trees are now growing in the limestone cracks, effectively blocking the trail even without the fence.

Steps were a bit dicey

Yep, she's having fun
