| no partners | | | Annual trip to Maiden Falls. High temp for the day was ~105°, perfect day to be at the creek. Parked on Cedar Flats Road, 1 mile from the true trailhead, because that last mile is impossible for my low-clearance vehicle. Accompanied a family (a dad, his 3 daughters, and a friend of 1 daughter) on the 2-mile descent to the creek, where we all jumped in, and it was amazing. The family stayed at that swimming hole while we traveled upstream, stopping at each cascade along the way. The water temperature was perfect. There was a group camping at the top of Maiden Falls. We hung out there for a while, relaxing and cliff jumping, then headed back. The sun went down as we left the creek, and the temperature was much cooler for the 2 mile ascent out of the canyon, just as we planned. Feet were a little sore from all the rock hopping, but otherwise felt great. We passed 3 other groups of people along the 11 mile span. I picked up a couple discarded water bottles and a long stretch of fishing line (with bobber and treble hook attached) out of the creek, didn't see any other trash. It was a beautiful day and enjoyed by all. |
