While camping, a boy, his brother, and their parents hike up a creek until they come to a huge waterfall. Although Dad says "it can't be done," the brothers scale the cliff next to the waterfall and, from the top, urge their parents to follow. The simple text and almost impressionistic oil paintings capture the mountain wilderness and outdoorsy spirit of the family.
