Sticky Waterfall

We went looking for Sticky Waterfall (or Bua Tong as it it actually called) on Saturday. We thought we knew right where we were going, but after about 3 hours of driving in the mountains looking for it, we gave up. We were super bummed that we hadn't found it. We had heard that is was so cool. We had kind of reserved Monday for a hang out, do whatever last day, but we decided to try again on Monday. After about 1.5 hours of driving, we found it! So glad we did, it was such a neat, unique waterfall. 

 There are high amounts of calcium carbonate in the spring that flows over the falls and the calcium sticks on the rocks as the water flows down. It creates a very non-slick or "sticky" surface and you can walk straight up the falls. 

 We hiked down to the very bottom on a path and then we climbed up the falls. Here is Chad at the very bottom...

 so, so pretty! It's crazy that we could walk straight up that with no problem.

 This was a log that stretched across the river at one point. Look at the difference in where the river runs over it and where it doesn't. So neat!
