I won't hike without them, they can be helpful in so many situations! Makes the experience much more pleasurable. I know a guy who nearly stepped on a rattlesnake and used his pole to distract the snake to move away!
Beautiful shots, both color and black and white. I love the sound of water and it cascades over small waterfalls!
Nice! I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate my trekking poles. Thanks for stopping by @thebighigg.
