| no partners | | | Hiked the big dipper late last April with my brother. This was my 5th time out there, and I was amazed at how much silt and sand have filled up the canyon! The long stretch that used to be a mandatory swim was now just a trickle through a sandy floor. You no longer have to get wet at all on this hike, which in my opinion is unfortunate. It is still an incredibly beautiful area, and I will continue to come here as a quick respite from the heat of the valley. The Dipper was still a decent waterfall, but the pool below is now a much smaller pool but mostly sandy beach. (I will post photos). It makes for a nice little place to relax, and you can still wade into what little of a pool remains. Next time I think I will head upstream when I reach the creek, and see what lies up in the canyon. |
