Visit To Zapata Falls - April 3, 2007
My visit to Zapata Falls at approximately 1 p.m. on Tuesday provided
me with the waterfall all to myself! There were two small parties
that I encountered at the parking lot as I was entering and exiting, but that was it.
As you can see, much of creek and waterfall was covered with ice and snow,
although the warmer temperatures
of the season had made a noticable "dent" as the ice was much wetter.
It was a beautiful and sunny day and I was quite grateful to be in such a special place as the San Luis Valley. -Steve

Just a few small areas of the upper creek were showing as seen above.

It was a bit tricky traveling back and forth on the creek because of how slippery it was!
