Our First Father's Day Family Camping Trip: Butte Creek Falls

Just 30 minutes from our house is a great little camping spot with a short hike to both Upper and lower Butte Creek Falls.  This is the upper and smaller falls, but would make a fantastic swimming hole on a hot summer day.  The water was a little chilly this time around as this is direct snow melt right now.  As you can see, our first choice for a camp site was still under about 8 ft. of snow, so we had to head down to lower elevations.
