It was their first time at PIRO, so we spent a whole day exploring the park. The best way to see the cliffs is by water and what better way than on the <i>Arrowhead. <\/i>We spent the morning driving up under the waterfalls and along the cliffs. With the sun shining and the calm waters, I think we captured the beauty of PIRO.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-kcFyet0y4jw\/XTCcUi5YtKI\/AAAAAAAAAOw\/BVngCDHg_A8c3OtfPYTzn5LkBr9QH32_QCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/DB3E9412-3DDA-4E39-8183-574AB4B37B35.jpeg\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-kcFyet0y4jw\/XTCcUi5YtKI\/AAAAAAAAAOw\/BVngCDHg_A8c3OtfPYTzn5LkBr9QH32_QCEwYBhgL\/s320\/DB3E9412-3DDA-4E39-8183-574AB4B37B35.jpeg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Prepping the boat for our morning tour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3wuTsDzfRQs\/XTCeU2fthFI\/AAAAAAAAAO8\/gXu6fySTi2sjK3gXRmrhH5dW9DRyGiwAwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/18892042-820E-4BC2-8707-DA8CD2FB34BD.jpeg\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"498\" data-original-width=\"750\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-3wuTsDzfRQs\/XTCeU2fthFI\/AAAAAAAAAO8\/gXu6fySTi2sjK3gXRmrhH5dW9DRyGiwAwCLcBGAs\/s320\/18892042-820E-4BC2-8707-DA8CD2FB34BD.jpeg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Ranger Tuuri and I putting the hazard buoy out in the marina<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; After a solid BBQ lunch with Ranger Turri and Chief Hughes, I started them on a parks highlight tour!
