| no partners | | | Hiked down to Hells Hole again after all the rain and snow. We first went the day after Thanksgiving 2009 for a few days and decided to go again after all the precipitation. Our second trip started on January 29, 2010 and we returned January 31. The trail was all snow, mud, water and ice, sometimes over a foot deep. We saw waterfalls that did not exist on the previous trip. The devastation from all the water flow was unreal. The campsite was annihilated. Despite the carnage, we made it all the way down to the confluence of Workman Creek and Salome Creek, which we did not accomplish on the first trip. This place is awesome. I now appreciate the warnings about flash floods. We saw rocks lodged between trees higher than our heads. The power of water is amazing. The hike starts out mellow but the descent at the end can put a hurtin on one's soul. sunshine was minimal, nights were long and cold, hard to start a fire with wet wood, but it was well worth it. |
