We got to the park this morning at 9am with very few people in sight and a prime parking location. All of us were pretty psyched about seeing all these waterfalls. As we moved through the gorge the crowds became heavier and within two hours it was so crowded that there were lineups to get down one of the stairwells. Eek! We were able to get some great shots early on but by 10am it was pretty much a write off if you wanted to get shots of the falls without the crowds. Good thing we were planning on coming back tomorrow.

I was very happy with my shots. Here are some of the selected few from the day.

Not bad for our first day in the park. We have one more day here and this time we are planning to get there about an hour earlier to get some of the shots before the rush.
