Many people hike this trail in the opposite direction that we did, however, I wish to provide one reason for hiking it counterclockwise. As you pass the falls, the forest becomes thinner, and you begin to get hints of the mountain.
First you see much larger expanses of sky with slight hints of something near. Then you reach a switchback and the mountain in all it's glory is out. It's not instantaneous, but it builds as you walk up the trail. One step at a time, the mountain is revealing it's beauty, as if it's too overwhelming to see all at once.
As you can see, it was a sunny day with only a hint of clouds in the sky. A perfect day to hike up a mountain.
