The road into the trailhead was a little slippery and muddy. The parking lot was only about half full when we arrived and a little less when we returned. It’s tough to beat Bluff Springs Trail after a good rain. We passed a couple groups of backpackers on the way out, but other than that we had the trail to ourselves. We made a return to an area I call Terrapin Forks in hopes of catching a couple nice waterfalls and some cascades. We were successful, however, the celebration was short lived as it started to rain around the falls and would not stop for the rest of our hike.

One of the backpacking groups lost a member in their party and were back on the trail looking for him. We spoke to the guy and exchanged greetings, but sometime after that and over a distance of not even a mile, he got separated from his group. I hope all turns out well for him.

A van that was stuck in the middle of the road caused a Jeep to get stuck as well and it was a little tough getting around them and getting out in general with the road conditions.
