new growth under the bridge 

 This is where I discovered that the water flow

was just opposite of what I had thought. 

The debris around this tree trunk 

from one huge flood

gave me the clue I needed.

 Looking upstream.

 Rock and wooden steps

 This hole in the ground is similar to a local

waterfall area called "The Grotto"

I couldn't figure how the water would carve the hole

until I realized the water flow was just the opposite

of what I had originally thought.

It is a bit deceiving since the tour goes the 

opposite direction of the water flow.
