Hiked up the Park Trail to the 4800 foot level, left the trail, and went down to Park Creek itself. The creek was flowing well with snowmelt. Got to an upper fall, descended it on the right (east) side, then continued downstream to get to a 160 foot waterfall I had seen on the topo map. With one arm around a juniper branch, I leaned over the edge of the abyss and took some pictures of the big sloping waterfall. On the way back, a big rock rolled over my foot. In pain, I carefully hiked out, getting back just after dark. Thus ended my Park Creek adventures. This was one of my most memmorable hikes from "back in the day".
