Remembered Celebration
Some people go out into nature because they enjoy hiking and just being outdoors.  I would say I'm similar to them until I went to LaSalle Falls in LaSalle, Wisconsin this past summer.  I have been to waterfalls before but this one gave me different feelings than the others.  Being in a household of five people and three dogs, peace is hard to come by.  However, this area made me feel in a total different world and it was just my first time visiting.  Initially, there's a hiking that's about a mile long, and even looking at the trees was incredible.  There were birds chirping, worms crawling, bugs buzzing, and the sun was peaking through crevices in the trees.  After I reached the area where the water started rushing, I knew I made a good decision to come out.  In order to get to good spots to take pictures I had to climb over rocks, and some of the climbing was difficult.  Despite the rigid rocks, I took it as a challenge because I didn't have much experience climbing around rocks, and I'm glad I did.  I experienced an adrenaline rush similar to ones during big sporting events in which I participated.  I never thought I could experience one without an enormous crowd present, but I did.  The views themselves were outstanding, and pictures could never do them justice.  I was disappointed I didn't take a book with me because I felt I could have finished a 500 page book in three hours--a feat that would typically take me several days--while listening to the crashing of the water on rocks.  It was one of the most soothing sounds I'd ever heard, even more than any song or meditation practice.  In one spot there was foam from the water piled up resembling snow and it was just gorgeous.  This place literally put me on cloud 9 and I will definitely be going back there next summer with a book next time.  The best way to summarize my feelings were I felt as if I was one with nature.  I highly encourage others to venture there to see what a little waterfall in a small town in Wisconsin has to offer.

This is a picture from the end of the hiking trail on top of the highest rock.

This is my favorite view of the fall.  It isn't overwhelmingly monumental in size, but it is still a pretty sight.  To get this spot to snap the picture, the only was down was climbing on the rocks and it was a joy to do that.
