The drive in was just fine. We parked before the creek crossing, as the creek was pretty high from the big storms we've gotten the past 2 weeks.

The storms also caused the creek to be chocolate brown. The area was absolutely gorgeous but I plan to come back again next summer and hope for clearer water. The water was so dark that you couldn't see even an inch deep. This made it impossible to see rocks just below the surface and left us unable to judge the water depth anywhere. This was a fun challenge but it took us a lot longer to reach the waterfall because of it.

The water was usually about ankle to mid calf deep, except towards the end where we got some places that were over waist deep when trying to avoid the very thick and deep mud on the sides of the canyons. Water temp was chilly but definitely not cold. Air temp was in the low-mid 80's so it was perfect.

It was a gorgeous day, no signs of the monsoons we've been having recently and we had a great time.
