The weather was a little too cool for canyon swims, but a bit too warm for lower elevations sufferfests, so I thought this one might hit the goldilocks spot.

Up in the forest, the trail is in great shape, but the switchback descent down to the creek is pretty overgrown and involves a lot of pushing through the brush. It could use a good trimming. Thankfully, there's not much in the way of prickly things.

We passed a trio of hikers along the way who had apparently lost the trail and wandered for a few miles before finding their way again. I'm not entirely sure how this happens, but if eyesight isn't a strong point for you, be warned, apparently you could have trouble.

Water flow was great, poison ivy was healthy and shiny, temperature was 72 at the creek, and though the sun was a bit warm on the climb out, a nice breeze kept things comfortable.

All around great day.
