My Favorite Falls in the High Lakes Region, I call it Big Kimshew Falls.  This fall is best seen when the spring runoff is flowing high.  Unfortunately Justin was on call so could not go.  I was a bit apprehensive as it is a rough drive in the truck and required a significant hike to the edge and a steep drop. We started in the afternoon after Church and lunch.   These kids (and Shannon) hiked it very well without whining.  My legs whined, this fall is near 5500 feet elevation.   (guess).

There are a number of falls between this one and Little Kimshew Falls where the Kimshew river joins the West Branch of North Fork of the Feather River.   There are a number of significant  falls in the 12 miles of river between these two.  Professional Kayackers ride this all the time.  See Kimshew River Kayacking

For perspective, see Will and Isla on the left hand side of this photo.

Shannon takes a selfie.

Shannon slipped on Moss and into the River……Not to be deterred she removed her shoes and socks and pressed on.  Isla thought it was hilarious.

Bare footin’

She got some excellent photos, see them at her site, MilantoMinsk  (password is turk)

She said it was much easier to walk on slippery surfaces without her shoes.
