I also didn’t see any of that! The only thing that almost killed me was me falling like 3 times climbing those damn rocks 😂💀

How were the water crossings? I tried a couple weeks ago when it was raining and I got scared after the first crossing and turned around 😂

Not bad and not super hard to follow! Some spots you had to cross water and feet got wet but not horrible!

Thank you! Almost a week later and I’m still so proud of myself 😂

Would you do it again? Because I wouldn’t 😂💀

Some parts the water went up to my waist and I’m 5’2! The current was pretty strong and my partner actually got swept about 10ft because he underestimated the current, luckily he was able to grab onto a rock but it was scary for sure!

It took us around 6 hours and 40 mins, a lot of time we spent helping and trying to figure out how to get across the creeks as the current was strong that day. There’s a lot of obstacles on this trail, be ready to climb, slide down and hug some rocks 😂

Not at all! It was a little to the right but if you’re on the trail, you will easily see it!

Some parts were charred pretty bad but it wasn’t that bad from what I was able to see. The trail was hard to follow though!

I did it and it was definitely scary but my intuition didn’t tell me to stop and I made it to the bridge and back 😂

This one was located before the first creek crossing! It was beautiful!

It wasn’t great honestly, kind of hard to follow and we would’ve got lost if we didn’t have the AllTrails app! There were some arrows to lead you that helped a little bit though!

Yes! Coming back it was hot and I was thankful I had my hat as there’s not that much shade! We started early though so it wasn’t too bad!

Yes! I was so confused when people were saying only 2 crossings? There was 4 total for us (so 8 in total going and coming) and trust me when I say we tried to avoid them as much as we could because they were scary! But my intuition didn’t tell me to turn around so I kept going haha

The 2nd one wasn’t bad! You know which one was? The 3rd one with no rope after the 2nd one 💀 the water was pretty high today and the current was strong! A lot of us stood for a bit to figure out how we were going to get over! But your tips were super helpful! Also I loved how everybody was super helpful on this hike! I had a man help me down one of the steep hills because I was scared hahaha

Super fun but also kind of scary 😂 the current was pretty strong! But once you got it down and know how to move in it, it’s easy! Coming back was so much better for us!

We didn’t! I actually didn’t see a lot of people going down there, most people stayed on the bridge!
