Amazing place.
Camped overnight at the trailhead and dropped in in the morning.
Boulder hopped / tubed to the Hanging Garden's waterfall section. Played around there and cliff jumped along the way. Sometimes the creek would be 20-30+ft deep and 30ft narrow; others it was wide and feet were necessary.
We saw plenty of fish and crawfish. We also followed the trail of dead crawfish on the rocks to a large river otter. Didn't know they were that big!
No rain up there all weekend. Perfect temps in the canyon and creek once the morning sun reached in.

This is slated for this years Mamping Trip. Look for details at summers end.

Are any more pictures really necessary? :)g)

Fine. Here's more

Sorry this pic sucks. I just kept saying "Otter. Otter. Otter!" as he swam right at me. I only realized I had a camera on (on the wrong settings) almost after he passed me by.

I am absolutley speechless.

How amazing. This is just totally and utterly awesome.

I may actually particapte in Manping this year. I do have a man card, and this is just too incredible to pass up.

thanks for posting, Mike. Wow. Just wow.
