Rock Watersliding






Today I went with the Dooley family, some of the Bennetts and Radcliffes and some new volunteers to the Rock Waterslides. From the station, it takes about 45 minutes to hike up a mountain into a rainforest and then to the waterslides. These waterslides are no more than rocks which have become smooth from the years of water running over them. No mats or rafts are used, just your bottom. There are 2 places where the rocks are, and a few different slides at each one. Some in the group went head first, feet first, and even tried surfing it. It may not have all the slides and excitement of Schlitterbahn at South Padre Island, but it is refreshing, fun, and free.
