What a refreshing day it was. It got up to 91 degrees and spent about 5 hours swimming and eating at the very popular swimming hole at Sunset Falls in Washington which takes about an hour's drive south from where we live which is well worth the trip and certainly much better than a chlorinated soaked swimming pool. We got there at about 11:00 just so we can get a good parking space. My three hearing kids, deaf wife and a deaf dog, Lucky, spent the day swimming and jumping into a deep pool from 14 feet high. We did, not the dog. She doesn't like the water.
The video shows the larger and main pool of Sunset Falls while above that fall is another smaller one and smaller pool. We hit both of them and did some exploring upstream of the falls as well. At the end of the day we all agree that this will be our newest and favorite swimming hole.
The video above is a guy I video-taped at the same spot where I taped my two daughters jumping into the same pool but from a 14 foot height ... feet first. The guy does a single backflip from 25 to maybe 30 feet high. Don't know who the guy is. He's nuts.

Cool!
This reminds me of a swimming hole my family and I used to go to. It's the Red Granite Quarry in WI. It's approx 200 feet deep and it's amazing how fearless the kids were (I was a bit nervous...hole is too deep!). People are jumping off he cliffs into the quarry... good memories. I think swimming holes are more fun than pools.
Yes, and without the chlorine and the cramped pool. I prefer these kinds of swimming holes. Always a fresh source of water flushing the pools keeping it fresh and clean. There are many swimming holes where I live.
Oh what a beautiful place! I prefer those kind of places myself.
Lovely!
