~*Mesa Falls*~

Sometime in early October we took a drive, about thirty minutes outside of Rexburg, to the lovely Mesa Falls. Although we have both lived in the area for a few years now we were surprised to find that neither of us had ever made the trip out. We had just assumed the other had been there so it was never at the top of our 'to-do' list. We were so grateful that we were able to see the waterfall for the first time together. The drive out there was fun enough for us as it was filled with picturesque views and runaway cows! The waterfall wasn't Niagara Falls, but it is in such a tucked away quaint place in the mountains that gives it a more earthy natural feel. I remember Niagara being a wee more touristy, obviously much larger too! I couldn't help think of Virginia as I was out there because of the fruity pebbled colored Autumn leaves. I am not sure the kind of tree, they're somewhat abundant here, that has the bright butterscotch yellow leaved but they're my favorite in this area. We snapped a few fun pictures- they really don't do the pretty waterfall or area justice. As always, at the end of the day we wished we had taken more pictures, but the memories left their mark too.
