Really nice. I especially like how you still see the spray of the waterfall from afar.

I'm eyeing to buy this camera for a hiking camera too (aside from the LX10, G9X or a very small mirrorless); might I ask how you carried it with you?

I had a small camera pouch from Case Logic that fit the G7Xii perfectly. It had a belt loop and whenever I felt the need (which was often) I'd reach down and grab it from the pouch. I think I got mine from Wal Mart several years ago. I don't know if they still carry it but many online retailers (Amazon, B&H) do  just search for Case Logic TBC-403.

The waterfalls were amazing. Warm temperatures and lots of snow were giving them plenty to work with. My only regret is that I was a day or two early. Flows essentially doubled the day after I left. So I imagine the waterfalls are booming, and they already were when I was there but, that much flow means flooding In the Valley. It is minor flooding, but flooding none the less. So many of of the trails you may take around meadows and other nearby river areas may be wet.

Thanks,
