Sorry for the logo but I'm hotlinking from the website and people have a bad habit of posting my pics on myspace and other shit without a thanks or reference
Here are some of the 3 hour hike/mountain climbing I did (yes, on my fucked up ankle and everything, I fart in death's general direction)....I was surprised my fat ass didn't die :P
This is the base of the river we were going to go up through
A little waterfall we had to climb up
Drinking pool where most deer in the area drink from
This natural water slide is called La Piedra Lisa, or the slick rock
Right at the top of the Piedra Lisa is this (which you can't really see on the first pic)
Here is another wall we had to climb around/up
Here is where we reached the base of the main waterfall El Salto, or the hop
The camera was a p&s so it didn't have an adequate enough lens to fit the whole thing in one shot, so here it is in pieces
Top Half:

I moved back a little here but was losing clarity
Here is a wider shot:
During the regular season this is the trickle that pours down at a steady rate and the pool that forms that causes a lot of moss etc which stopped me from wanting to climb it without any equipment. During flash floods, it's down right roaring with water.
Looking back through what we trailed through:
At the base of El Salto lies this "monument". Back in 1992, a kid about 2 years older than I scaled el Salto through a trail the deer made on the side. While at the mesa, he was attacked by what was assumed to be africanized bees. He took a diver off the water fall and they found him a few days later. This is a little monument they made in his honor and one of them apparently flushed over.
This is looking down La Piedra Lisa. Dude in the pic is a cousin of mine that maintains land and other stuff I own down there.
For some reason, it looks less intimidating from the top
The vegetation around here is very dense. We were constantly on the lookout for people taking care of clandestine pot crops that are notorious in the area
