In summer, standing in the water with bare feet was an amazing feeling.
Along the way, Finnley and Mya met many young people coming and going, as well as some families with children.
Although they were in the mountains, they were not alone.
On one side of the stone stairs were the mountains while on the one side was a pool, where some big rocks with strange shapes stood. Some people step on them to take pictures.
The mountain road got steeper as they went higher. Some people held the railing, some held hands.
"Give me your hand!” said Finnley. Then he reached out his big palm in front of her.
Mya glanced at him, and without hesitation, she put her little hand in his palm.
The moment the hands touched; their temperature conveyed.
Under the cool wind, Mya followed Finnley, stepping up high stones step by step. It was too steep; she didn't dare to look down.
The sound of the waterfall was getting closer and the view was getting more spectacular.
They could almost feel the water mist sprayed on their face, which felt very cool.
"Be careful, there is water on the stone steps above here. It could be slippery" Finnley reminded her, "You can step where I stepped."
Mya didn't speak, she was afraid of heights!
She had no gut to look down, it was so steep! Her palms were sweating.
The waterfall was close at hand. They were almost there!
She could see the water flowing down from the top of the mountain when she looked up. She held his hand tightly, not wanting him to look down on her.
Under the waterfall was the first big water beach, and the water flowing down from the water beach formed a small waterfall, and then it accumulated into a small pool... slowly going down until it became a small stream.
Many people were swimming in the big water beach below the waterfall. Some were taking photos of those strange-shaped rocks on the shore.
Finnley led Mya to step on the last big rock, and they finally reached the top!
But she was dizzy, and then leaned into his arms.
Finnley froze for a moment.
