This was not my photo, most of my hiking photos have been deleted from the computer by a person who wishes to remain anonymous, okay I goofed. I have hiked the falls area in every season and seen the ice just as bad…muy muy frio, but it keeps the drinks cold.
Great photo! Looks like it was a cold hike.
