Quest for Waterfalls - Part 2 - Gjain

From Haifoss we head back out and back through the country side. Frosti mentions that as long as we trust him he's just going to make up his own Golden Circle Tour. We dub it Frosti's Golden Circle.

The Golden Circle is a road tour you can take around the perimeter of Iceland. It takes a long time but you don't see any of the interior majesty.

More twists and turns and various mountain shapes and hints of autumn colors the whole way through. We're heading to a spot one of Frosti's friends calls "God's Stamp on the World."

We easily spent the most time here than any other spot on this tour. Once again we pull up to a dead end in the road and hear that similar waterfall sound but not as powerful. What was powerful about it was the sheer beauty of it all. Coming up over the ridge we see a canyon full of greens and red and yellow split in two the small river formed by two more waterfalls. Caves of basalt. This all opens to a huge sky hovering above the middle of nowhere Iceland landscape.

A narrow path winds its way down into the middle of it all where we cross 2x4 planks all the way to the edge of one of the waterfalls. It towers above us releasing millions of gallons per second and turning into a gentle stream clearer than your tap water.

We walk everywhere we can (including into some of the water shallow enough to not get too wet cos its REALLY cold) to make sure we don't miss anything.

I still can't believe we were there. Its absolutely gorgeous!
