I'm glad we did this from Hackberry for our first attempt, but knowing there is a quick access trail to the 5 Pools, I certainly wouldn't fight through the downfall, catclaw, poison ivy and other obstacles ever again. Progress was very slow and we were carrying extra gear (harnesses, rope, protection) for the raps into the pools, so packs were heavier than normal. Took way to long to reach the pools which forced us to make a decision about our available time (since we would be returning the same way we came in). Ultimately, we dropped into the third pool and from there decided that we better get on to the return. The road in and out is pretty beat up (that last hill before the windmill). Glad we had my friends Jeep. I really don't think my 4wd Tahoe would have done as well. The road contributed to our decision to cut the hike short, since we did not want to risk climbing that road out in the dark. |
