My main target for the hike was newts and my friend had just seen them here a week earlier so we went back in hopes they were still out. When we got to stream sure enough we found a bunch swimming in the pools below the waterfalls. Lifer! We got in the water and swam with them, so cool wish I had an underwater camera. We must have seen over 20, they were in almost every pool, but only took a handful of pics.
