Austin at Verney Falls Lowe Inlet

We packed spinning gear and the boat horn (bear horn) for our hike around Verney Falls up Kumowdah River to Lowe Lake. The fairly non-existent trail made for tough going as we dropped out onto a rock ledge overlooking the falls. We clamored boulders and reentered the thick woods close to the falls when I came upon a hollow under a huge fir. A small car could fit in the hollow and the ground was well padded down.  I slowly turned and retraced my steps back to Austin who queried my concern. I said, "No need to run but lets call this hike done". There had been an account of another hiker coming across a bear den while traversing the falls and I believe we discovered his path".
