Glen and I went to Franklin in the afternoon to do a couple of short waterfall hikes. Lots of driving for hiking 2 miles :) The first hike had a drive along a good condition gravel road. 

We met a family at the falls who told us the pool below the waterfall was full of salamanders. I spent the next 20 minutes looking for them. The waterfall was okay, but the salamanders were the highlight of this hike. 







Not much of a pool at this one.







Very well camouflaged
