Jenn and I celebrated our one-year friendiversary with a visit to Old Man's Cave.

Well, okay, I'll be honest. I meandered so much peering at mosses and liverworts, rocks and roots and rushing water that we didn't make it to the cave in question. But we saw just about everything else...so I supposed that oversight is just an excuse to go back!

Despite temperatures hovering around freezing, the park was crowded with sightseeers. To me, this staircase says it all --- so many people have trod here that the standstone steps have worn away. (The flat ones have been replaced with concrete.)

There was still plenty of beauty despite the crowds though. This shot almost captures the grandeur of the rock formations...but not quite.
