Picturesque Niche
From my first experience with the Otter Trail in 2005 I know this wonderfull hide away place.
If you hike with a loved one its now time to let them know. Just imagine it's you own your own surrounded by nature. Splashing here could get very exciting.
One thing left to be mentioned:
As a sign of respect and appreciation towards mother nature, if you plan to combine splashing with washing yourselves, use biodegradable soap, which is available at sophisticated outdoor stores.
Give the natural filters (wet moss carpets, riverbed gravel and rock ambracing plants) a break and treat them as precious resources.

Not sure what these two grasshoppers are doing here, mating or a mother carrying her young.
Interesting enough to attract my attention I found plenty more of them hanging around Scott Hut and they would not be the last ones to see. Although quite numerous they appeared not to have this destroying impact on the environment when feeding.
