I hiked with the Valley Wanderers partway up the Government Peak Race Trail to the beautiful waterfall off the very overgrown side trail. It has rained a lot recently, so we had some very slippery sections on the main trail. I kept Bella on her leash most of the way up until it got too steep for me to hold onto her safely. She could pull me down on the steep muddy sections. She was very happy when I released her. The trail to the waterfall is quite overgrown and pretty slippery in places, but we made it to the picnic table at the end safely. The falls is very beautiful and flowing quite well right now. It was worth the struggle to get a good view of it. We started out with 4 of us, but Jo turned back before the falls. Jane, Meg and I made it to the falls overlook. Our original plan was to hike Marmot Mountain, but the clouds were so low that we would not have seen much of the view. The waterfall was a good alternative choice.
