| no partners | | I had not hiked to the falls since February 2020. Water was flowing then. Today they were not. It rained just before Christmas, so I waited for today to take the hike. I drove the 2-mile dirt road to save my legs for hiking. I found a nicely cairned trail which connected with the wash about half a mile up. There was very little water flow when I reached the pools area, The water hole at the final approach to the falls was wet, but no water. The overflow pool, at the base of the lower falls pool, was also dry.
I expended a lot of energy removing rocks from the dirt road, so I opted not to climb above the bottom pool. Been there; done that.
Two hikers arrived just as I was leaving. It was their first hike in the canyon. I informed them of the option of climbing to gain access to the other pool levels and headed back on my return hike. About 10 minutes later another hiking duo appeared. I offered information and continued my descent. Just before reaching the Hog Canyon Fence. I encountered a solo hiker and a group of four or five hikers. By then it was after 2:00 P.M., so I do not think they would be hiking very far. |
