Went to the end of the trail then backtracked about a half mile to cross the river on the dry reservoir bottom and then back up to visit Blue Hole up close and the amazing salt pots. Can't believe the amount of work involved in carving them out. Also hiked up above the salt pots a few hundred feet to see the unusual swampy area that is apparently the spring.
