Spring in February, Stone Valley

I had to stop in Colton for work and couldn't resist a short stop to check out the falls and test out a new camera at Stone Valley. Conditions were spring-like, with virtually no snow cover in the forest and very little ice on the river rocks. I wandered off trail to check out the old stone walls from the former tannery site near the west bank trailhead. Temps were in the upper 30s and I hardly needed gloves.
