Completed this hike on Memorial Day (30 May). That is close to the end of the best season ... the temp was in the mid 80s but in a month it will be much hotter. The 1st 1/2 mile features a resort on your left ... as long as you are not expecting backcountry wilderness it is not all that obtrusive. Decide for yourself ... I included a photo. The hike starts in a manzanita brush forest, moves up to an oak forest with some alligator juniper and ends in a ponderosa pine forest with views of the canyon walls between the trees. From the end (a trail continues but there is a sign requesting that you don't) there is a view of the "headwaters" of the creek ... it falls from a cliff. After a rain that is likely a nice waterfall but it was just damp rock on 30 May 2005. The view is still a good one and there is a side creek (also barely flowing) at the trail end.
