HAZ - Event
Started early...left Mesa at 5:40am and there around 7am. Nice water...it was brown/dirty, but not unswimmable...just not clear, which made jumping risky. Hoped to get farther, but think we stopped at what most people consider as the second swimming hole. Never made it to the creek or the waterfall, unfortunately. There was a bend going around to the southeast that seemed kind of difficult to pass; we started to try to hike up the south wall to the very top and come back down, but decided to call it quits at that point and get in the water. There were guys jumping off a 40+ foot ledge and down into the water...crazy! Saw several interesting spiders and insects out there as well, along with a few frogs, lizards, rabbit, etc.

Difficulty: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: :sweat: (of 5), due to all the scrambling
