they didn't want any of the
older hikers to lose their step
and tumbledown the hill on
top of them.
The trail guide stopPed the
group at a tiny .rise on the
river bank inviting everyone
over to what he called one of
tie `lookout points".
Expecting Co step out• of the
bush and be standing on a
high . bluff overlooking the
Maitland the hikers were.
disappointed only because
they were• not high _over the
river. The scene was
beautiful and 'the .hikers were
instantly proud: they had left
their soft chairs to come on
the hike.
The view was one provided
by standing on the bend of the
river not far ,below the falls.
Looking up river ;the huge'
trees that cover the bank of
the river provided a seaof

Fishermen stood in the river
in their hip waders and the
whole • image looked like
something you , see . on a
calendar. Downriver. was a
similar scene except no
fishermen interrupted the
.natural beauty.
Resting and enjoying the
s~cenery' the group was not
indignant when Bill Wisser
suggested they. move on. The
next section of the trail.was
along the flat flood plain and
the group was silent as they
seemed. to. be absorbing the
atmosphere. - Tall trees
surrounded .them with
branch.es that.served as an
umbrella about 50 fe°et up,;.
Falling leaves and the sigh of
the breeze seemed to relax
everyone' as. they walked
slowly down the trail.
The trail guide sensed the
mood and gave the group a
gentle reminder that because
they had come down a 'hill
recently they had to go back
up another.eine tp finish. the
route.
The hill going up, however,
was nothing like the' one
corning .down. A tractor path
cut through the bush
descended the. hill "which was
a full 100 yards easy and steep
enough to. require the hikers
to lean over as they walked;,
Slowing the pace the trail
guide got the group up the hill
with little effort and even
gave them,a chance to enjoy
the terrain.
Once at the top' all that
remained was a short walk
