This trip ended up being the worst trip I have been on ever in my life...but wait dont stop reading. The scenary was beautiful. The hike was great. The reason why it was bad was that I had blisters right away into the hike. This got worse as we got farther. Second, I had my dog with me and she wanted to go under when I wanted to go over.

I want to go back as soon as I get a chance to go again with better feet and without my overactive dog.

Trip was nice and easy. Went at 6am and didnt come across anyone until the way back. Once up to the road I had to take the kick national trail up to the lookout area.

This place is beautiful. Nothing really special about it as the water was limited but in some spots there was so much green that it was absolutely amazing. I will do this again for sure.

This hike was awesome. The 3-4 hours down was all worth the fun once we were down there. The water was cool but very refreshing once in and used to the chill. I can not wait to go back. The hike out was strenous and lasted 5 hours. Of course the last mile was the worse as it is up and nothing but switchbacks. Once your at the top I recommend going right back to the store out on route 66 and getting a cold beer.

This hike is always a great one to get the blood flowing. For some reason I am never prepared for it even thou it really isnt that tough.

Great hike. seems a bit easier than camelback but it kicked my pumpkin more for some reason. I guess I need to stop taking long breaks in between.

This hike was awesome. Took about 20 to get down and walked about 30 minutes around to a nice open area with a good amount of water and hung out for a while. October 14th 1:30pm 63 degrees and I jumped in the water.

This place is beautiful...just stop littering. Clean up after yourselves. I am guessing it is not anyone from this site that messes up these places. Other than that it was beautiful.

This place was pretty discusting due to no running water. The dormant water created an infestation of many insects that made the hike horrible. I went abuot half way and turned back. I will put up some pictures tongith. I will maybe go back when there is water.

Went with a few friends and had a blast once again. Started hiking at 9:15am and got down just after 10am and hung out until around 2:40pm and hiked up to the top by 4:05pm. Took some awesome pictures under water as well. Luckily this time we were sprinkled on so it was not as hot as it was 3 weeks ago with the sun blasting on my back during the afternoon hike out. I believe I will be there again in another few weeks but will camp down at the bottom.

Took a few friends down this time. It is an excellent place to hang out and relax and take a refreshing plunge into the water.

Hike was quick and easy. Steep yet fun. Took me 15 minutes to get down and 25 to get up. very worth the steep journey to get down to the water. Once there you can go about anywhere you would like. I only stayed down there for about 30 minutes however will come back for a longer journey soon.

This trip was awesome. Started hiking Saturday morning around 8, got down to the creek at 9. swam till about 1pm and got back to the top at 3pm. Total hike time 3 hours, total play time 4 hours. All in all one of the coolest things I have ever done.

This hike is awesome. It is not for the faint of heart. It may take some time if you are not ready for what is to come. Every time I hike this I ask myself why I am doing it. However, once you get to the top you remember why you did it.

This hike is nice for a quick afternoon jaunt. The waterfall is real cool. I have yet to see if fully flowing. I do hope to see that soon.
