Hiking adventures and photography
We hiked Honeymoon Bluff Trail July 27th, 2024.
A tall staircase led us up the side of the bluff.
At the top of the bluff, we were greeted with the following sign.
We continued along the trail towards the overlook. Large red mushrooms were spotted throughout our hike.
Hungry Jack Lake Overlook
The trail looped us back around towards the staircase.
Our hiking adventure was 0.52 miles.
We hiked Judge C.R. Magney State Park on June 24th, 2023.
Our hike began at the trailhead parking lot. The trail immediately led us across the Brule River.
The rocky unpaved trail ran parallel to the Brule River.
The trail continued to have a slight incline as we hiked up the cliffs. Small overlooks allowed us to view the river rushing below.
We reached another set of wooden stairs. Someone wrote on the staircase that there were 192 steps to the bottom. The view on the way down was astonishing.
We reached the bottom of the stairs and we heard the rushing of the Brule River going over the Upper Falls. Unfortunately, the staircase to view the falls was out of order/broken. I snapped a few photos through the trees and then we hiked up another set up stairs to view the Devil’s Kettle Falls.
There is a mystery that surrounds Devil’s Kettle Falls. One section of the river flows down a beautiful waterfall. The other part of the river flows into a huge pothole called Devil’s Kettle. Where the water goes after it enters the pothole has been a mystery for years. Scientists believe the water reappears further down the river, however, any item that has been dropped inside the Devil’s Kettle has never reappeared.
We spent a moment taking in the breathtaking sight.
We went back up the 192 steps and down the trail back to our starting point.
Our hiking adventure was 2.1 miles.
