The chipmunks didn't beg for food, but they did sit still enough for a quick photo.
These two does stood like statues for several minutes as we walked by & stared & clicked our cameras.
At the height of Spring run-off, we could see other smaller falls from the trail.
We ate our lunch feeling the cooling spray from this waterfall at about our half-way mark. Rock Creek roars down the falls, under the bridge & then empties into Como Lake.
How I enjoyed our latest hike! Lake Como is south of Hamilton & a little west of Highway 93. Wednesday was a gorgeous 80 degree day - perfect to hike the eight plus miles around the lake. The Spring flowers were in full bloom, a few fishermen were enjoying the lake before irrigation from this lake draws it down to half its current size & wildlife was peeking at us much of the trip. We saw several chipmunks, deer, loons, a tiny frog, butterflies & zillions of wildflowers.

Wow! I love it! Looks like my kinda place! That picture of Como Lake is especially beautiful! If the boat had been a canoe, it would have been absolutely perfect for hanging on my wall, since Larry and I enjoy canoeing.
