Walking Off the Rage

I thought it would be a good idea to take a walk and blow the stress and tension away from the fit of rage I experienced over the last 2 days.

I headed up to the Pipeline Trail.  I wanted to take a real hike rather than a walk like I have been doing.  Mainly, I have walked the roads around the region because they are convenient and I can start them from my house or from Boquete.

This hike requires a drive up into the higher areas of Bajo Mono.  It was really worth it.  I was told that the hike ended at a waterfall but I have never completed the hike and therefore, never seen the water fall.

The trail ends in a shear wall, vertical circle with the only outlet where the creek flows down hill.  This is the cloud forest at it's best!  The waterfall is about 200 vertical feet high.  I know it is hard to get perspective from the picture but it is a long fall from the top.  You may notice that the water toward the bottom is thinned out into a fine stream because of the extensive drop.

I hope you enjoy the picture.  I sure enjoyed the hike.
