Chepkit

These pictures are from a hike to Chepkit water falls in June. It is about a 30 minute trek from the village - uphill both ways! It's a beautiful hike, one of the coolest places I've ever been! While we were all gathering at the gate getting ready to leave the village, Abraham found a gecko!

Joseph with the gecko. We tried to get it to sit on his shirt and change colors, but it liked his hand much better!
The river, on the way to the falls. The first time I took this hike, we got to this point and I thought we had arrived. Not yet!

View from the top

Ruth and Abraham on top of the viewing platform. 

Hiking down to the bottom of the falls. (This is what makes it uphill BOTH ways!)

Chepkit!

Still going down....

Joseph and Kelvin taking a little rest on the rocks. =)

It was really fun climbing across the rocks at the bottom, with the sound of the water raging on the other side!

The bottom of the falls is so flat the water is hardly moving in some places. 

Robert

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. 
Psalm 19: 1-4
