Spent the day chasing waterfalls.

Started at overflow lot. It’s much nicer than the main lot. The Trail that Connects to Esperero from the Overflow Lot has a new name: Prospect Trail. Or so a paper sign taped to a traffic barricade suggested, anyway.

Not many people out. Most were before the house with the hip roof. Had Cardiac Gap and all of Esperero Canyon to myself until the return leg; I met one guy in Geronimo Meadow headed down… he’d started at Catalina State Park so was on the tail end of a busy day.

First waterfall of the day was Esperero as seen from Cardiac Gap. Lots of small ones up canyon. The main event was flowing nicely too.

Had lunch and refilled water at the falls, but spent some time exploring pools in the canyon. Very pleasant.

Back to the car a bit past four. The hike down from Cardiac Gap was sunny and hot. The vegetation seemed very confused about whether it was still fall or if spring started.

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
It wants to be spring. There are probably more than there should be in January.

	Light to medium flow where it surfaces, which is pretty often.
