Hiked the loop in a little different way today by starting from the Round the Mountain TH, down to the creek and up along the Noon Creek trail to the T intersection. From here I went off trail down the canyon to the waterfalls and boulder hopped all the way back down to complete a smaller loop. Was very surprized to meet a nice couple and their 3 children hiking at the upper creek crossing, first time in dozens of trips over 10 years that I have ever seen someone else on this trail! Very nice afternoon hike and one I will do many more times.
