the path up the mountain crosses a river (creek?) several times, and every crossing includes a lovely pool with a waterfall. i am certain that they are brilliant little swimming holes during the summer, but it was WAY too cold to consider a dip in october...
this sacred cave features a spring which magically appears right out of the rock. the little hut was once a hermit's lodge and is now a chapel for passers-by.
this is the holy spring as it comes to the surface.

Beautiful scenes. Amazing that there's so much greenery when there's snow at higher elevations! Like climbing from Muir Woods to the Sierra on the same hike.
