Cochran Falls

3.4 mi, 75 ft, sunrise 6:56 AM, overcast, 50°F

Second time out here. The first trip was mostly working out where to park and how to get in, so this one went further and covered more ground. Another Saturday, and again we had it to ourselves. Another photograph of the creek.

Cloud cover here is the low and middle layers together, the cloud that hides the sun. High cloud is what a sunrise lights up, so it is counted on its own. Open-Meteo archive (ERA5 and IFS analysis), 7:00 AM.
