Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not…

- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

On our first visit to Petit Jean state park, we didn’t have much time to explore one of the most prominent attractions of the park, the stunning Cedar Falls. Two trails within the park allow views of the 95-foot waterfall, namely the Cedar Falls overlook trail and the cedar falls trail. As the name suggests, the first trail takes the visitor to an overlook of the waterfall. The second option is more strenuous to navigate a steep rocky path to the waterfall's base.

On my second visit, I decided to tack the trail to the base of the waterfall. For some reason, I decided that it would be an excellent option to traverse the steep fall on a muggy 98F day. It was one of the most taxing hikes of my life, mainly due to my unpreparedness. I was carrying unnecessary gear with only a tiny bottle of water and the wrong footwear. Even with all the things going wrong with the hike, the biggest disappointment was not the challenging hike but the state of the waterfall. A sweltering summer had made sure that there was hardly any water in the creek. The usually majestic waterfall is barely a trickle with stagnant water at the base. I was disappointed that I didn’t check the water status before I embarked on the hike and even more so by my lack of preparedness for the trek. I hope to return once the rains are back.
