Hiking through the canyon we had to traverse many types of terrain. We walked across muddy paths, down steep cliffs, across rushing rivers and up bamboo ladders.
This photo is of me crossing one of the bamboo bridges made by the locals. We could only cross one at a time and I soon learned why! Have you seen “Romancing the Stone?” It felt like that bridge…very shaky and loose, very adventurous and natural.
Once we actually came upon a corn field! For a minute I thought I was in Nebraska, but then I noticed the banana plants right next to the same field. Plus the rural dwellings kind of stood out as Filipino. 
Finally, Nate and I got to take our team to the incredible waterfall near the village! We got a photo and then packed the camera away to keep it dry. The closer we got to the falls the more misty and moist it got. Nate just jumped in with the guys in the cold pool below the falls. I ventured on the rocks in bare feet to go behind the falls. I didn’t get all the way back there because it was too powerful! What a thrill to see the blast of the river gushing over the cliff in perfect natural beauty. Praise the Lord for his creation!
