Once in the parked we followed the droves of people who were following a nature trail that hugged the banks of a beautiful flowing stream. The sounds of gushing water got louder when suddenly, as we turned the corner of the pathway to finds Turner Falls. It was a magnificent waterfall pouring 5.5 millions gallon of water per day onto the limestone rock formation below. It was definitely one of those “have to be there” moments to fully appreciate the sound, and sight of the falls.

Of course, the kids weren’t about to stand and admire the beauty and were already making their way up the rugged terrain that led to the surrounding cave areas of the Arbuckle Mountains. I just stood poised with my camera in hand to capture every moment of what was a great day with Mother Nature.
