Jaimito, I can't see your pictures but I'm glad they put one on the home page. That one made my jaw drop. WOW! I'm VERY interested in an excusion up there, but I'm afraid this middle-aged housewife can't keep up very well with some serious hikers like yourselves, so I'll have to try it alone when the snow melts. I was thinking, though, that if there were enough people, a car shuttle could be arranged from Duncan Creek TH across the top, and down to High Valley. Maybe then I could keep up.
When I went there and Duncan Creek few years ago with Roy Stout, I didn't take a camera, because I was so sure, I'd never be able to take pictures and keep up with the other hikers. As it turned out, I had nothing to worry about; I was right in the middle of the group of a couple o' dozen hikers. I wished I'd had my video camera as well. While we were on top, we watched a black bear across the canyon in plain sight for at least half an hour. One of our leaders said that bear is there every time he goes up there.
I went back a week later and took pictures from the valley floor. Then we went to Duncan Creek. I wanted to go back while it was all fresh in my mind so as not to forget how to get there. What a difference a week makes, though. The first time, in early April, the falls of Duncan Creek were quite impressive. One dry week later, after bragging to my husband about it all, they weren't so impressive, but he said he still thought it was all very nice. And of course, at lower water, we could get down and take pictures from creek level.
