Across the street from Lisa Falls is one of the entrances to the Little Cottonwood Canyon Trail. We only did a short hike since it was getting close to lunch and we were already hungry.
We came across a river with a little bit of water flowing so we followed it for a while.
We saw these red bugs all along the trail but I couldn’t find any info on them. Does anyone know what they are? They were everywhere.
More from our hike in Little Cottonwood Canyon in October.
Our visit to Noccalula Falls north of Birmingham would not be complete without a hike down to the river and under the falls.
A quick video under the falls to show how loud it was with the water crashing over.
The hike down wasn’t bad. The weather was cool and the rain held off.
As we got closer to the falls, we had to be careful climbing over the slippery rocks.
The wall under the falls was full of these little birds nesting. This was cropped up and they blended in pretty well. My sister saw one fly into the nest. Otherwise I don’t think we would have noticed them. I think this is a northern rough wing swallow. A first for me.
