Heading to the Yuemeikeng Waterfall (月眉坑瀑布) in Jiaoxi (礁溪)

The river was full of cold rushing water

The Yuemeikeng Waterfall was massive

Tracing near Yuemeikeng Waterfall (月眉坑瀑布) in Jiaoxi (礁溪)

The water was nice and cool and such a beautiful color

We went to check out a new river in Wanli (萬里區) over the weekend. There are apparently two sections that can be traced in this river and we attempted the first part. We came to some falls that would've most likely required ropes to get up and over so we had to backtrack. We found a path that went up through the forest and past the waterfalls. We then came to another set of falls where three people got up and over and three neglected to try .... me being one of those. I can't risk re-injuring myself now when I am so close to recovery. Our group split into two. My group headed back down the trail and back into the river to trace back the way we came. We had lunch somewhere along the river and enjoyed the day out! I would like to head back to the second section of the river which is apparently much easier than the first part!

The rivers are full and the water is fairly cold


So many waterfalls along the river – at 瑪鋉溪瀑布群

Getting a bit of morning exercise before the heat of the day arrives – at Bailusishan (白鷺鷥山)

Some lovely trees along the path

Too damp and mosquito-y for a rest

This Dahu Park pool is finally reopening on a trial run with set times per level 2 restrictions

A muddy but lovely hike in the trails out back of my community


These trails have been closed off since mid-May ... they are quite overgrown

My first and only rest on my 7KM hike ... trails all to myself
