| no partners | | Fossil Creek hike and play outing. Took my kids out to Fossil for some preseason creek play. No permits needed until April 1. Had the entire area to ourselves for the first 90 minutes. Water was cold, I'm guessing low 60's. In addition to normal spring flow, the creek is also picking up some extra snow/rain runoff. Total flow around 100 cfs. The area surrounding the creek looks pretty beat up. Flash flooding on Feb 28 reached beyond 3000cfs. One of the Waterfall Trail log bridges is wiped out.
We did some cliff jumping into the chilly water, set up a hammock and relaxed near the large waterfall. A group of about 12 arrived, started jumping and sliding down the falls, providing a little extra entertainment. After awhile we moved on to another part of the creek for more creek play and cliff jumping. |
