| no partners | | | Another fun day exploring in the Mazzies! Obviously was not expecting a high flow in this seasonal creek due to this constant dry weather we have been having but due to the rarity of my days off from work & this place being on my list for awhile I wanted to give it a shot! All in all it was beautiful and diverse hike that has me wanting more! The hike had some great elevation gain and gave my legs such a good burn by the time of reaching "The Pyramid". My friend and I descended into the Park Creek from the western side drainage instead of head on because I got eager when I heard water! The creek itself had great flow with surprising amounts of numerous pools that were over 5ft deep in certain areas. Unfortunately the main attraction didn't have quite the flow power to provide a waterfall that was able to capture with my iPhone camera but at least I could see it with my own eyes. I can only imagine how spectacular this place must look with a heavy flow! So much fun traversing across some very precarious ridges along the lower main falls area, truly one slip around there and you are falling into the dark abyss! Im curious if it's possible to ascend the Parker Creek Canyon from the very bottom and work your way up scrambling without technical climbing gear all the way up to the base of the main falls, anyone out there know if it's possible? While sitting at the eastern vantage view point of the lower main falls I noticed a possible route down to the base of the main falls but I did not want to risk it because my hiking partner was out of sight already. |
