Réhabilitation, canyon et passeport
... Luck Potholes are huge, deep crevices in the Canyon that have been carved out over thousands of years by water erosion. By this time, it was late afternoon and since these lookouts tend to close around 17-18h, we made a quick stop at Berlin Falls (personally, I liked Lone Creek Falls more), before continuing down the Canyon to God's Window.

At around 7 we gathered around a large fire in the boma and were served an amazing meal. Onion soup to start, salad and whole spread of meats, potatoes, sausage and vegetables. It was so good.
