The Adventures of the Munn

                                                  APIKUNI FALLS

                                    


   The sign said 2km, that sounded like a reasonable hike.
   Joy did try and find her hiking shoes in the trunk but
   they were buried too deep.  Oh well, the path looks
   tame. Certainly no worse than the one to Macdonald
   Falls earlier.

            This initial path was thru meadows
            where Looey found many flowers to
            take pictures of.  Shortly the path
            came entered the woods, with even
            more flowers for Looey.
            To see pictures of the the flowers 
  
    It was not very far into the woods
    when the path started getting
    steeper... 

            and steeper...it was obvious by now
            that we were climbing up the mountain
            but the sign had said 2km so it couldn't
            be too far up the mountain. (famous last words) 

    and steeper! What the sign failed to say
    was that, one of the km was strait up!
  
            Looey emerges from the woods.
            He had made one of his many
            stops along the path so had
            ended up behind me. 

     Here we are above the tree line.
     the terrain has changed from
     woods to rocks.
  
            Josh had found the falls
            and returned to urge us
            on, saying: "its worth it!" 

    We finally made it. There was even an inviting
    rock to use for a chair to sit on while enjoying
    them.  Josh was right it definitely was worth it. 
  
            This was the veiw from our
            "rock" chair.

    Josh wasn't satisfied we want to see how
    close he could get to the falls.  Here he
    is taking pictures of he rapids in front of
    us from a perch many feet higher. 
  
            At this point he decided
            He was high enough. Actually
            he was up to the snow bank.        

    He felt the spray from the falls
    as the wind picked up. A little
    later so did we, sitting on the rock. 
  
            Now the time had come to go 
            back down the path.  That 
            should be much easier!

      If you picture the center mountain
      and the tree line and the grass line
      lining up, the falls are behind the 
      first mountain a little below where
      the mountains of the two pictures meet.
