When we arrived at Devil's Hole we were delighted to see that a group of Forest campers and counselors were there. Charlie the AiT Coordinator, who is a real avatar of hiking and camping here, had lured them out there with a promise that he would cook some griddle-cakes and add FV's maple syrup to each cake. We found part of the group surrounding Charlie as he cooked over a gas stove, not 8 feet from the beautiful flume. The other part of the group was wandering along the stream well above the falls, with their counselors. It was an ideal afternoon for them. The weather was perfect and the outing was relaxed. The water tumbling over the waterfall created a cold mist that happily covered us all. And the noise was constantly loud - that noisy rushing water!

The famous flume forming Devil's Hole. The hole itself is some 22 feet deep and COLD! |
Devil's Hole flume. The water doesn't flow much faster than this (we've had a lot of rain).
