Sun Point and Falls

Although we had seen a couple of these falls in our previous trip (Baring and St. Mary), this hike also included a visit to Sun Point lookout and Virginia Falls.
Embora já tivéssemos visto duas destas cataratas (Baring e St. Mary), esta caminhada incluiu também um passeio até o ponto panorâmico Sun Point e as Quedas Virgínia.
