The trail was very dry and easily navigable today. The water level was pretty low, so the falls were not particularly impressive, but the temps were cool and the air was crisp. We started our hike at 10am and passed ~10 other hikers.

I grabbed a tree identification pamphlet from a stash right at the trailhead. Eleven trees along the trail were marked by numbered wooden posts. It was fun to reference the pamphlet and learn about the forest during the hike.

First time hiking in from the bottom gate. Added about 4 miles 900ft of road walking but it was not quite as bad as it sounds. Unfortunately there is ongoing construction with loud machinery just 200yards from the vista. We found a rattlesnake shed out on the rocks. The final 50yards is pretty sketchy in the summer. You have to walk almost thigh high in shrubs where you can't see the ground in what is probably a high population density area for the slithery boys. One of the best views around!!

Very little water flowing through the falls on this day, was gonna continue north to watertank hollow but decided against it on account of the lack of water.

Leaves and mud made the hike pretty slow and tedious. The quiet quarry was a cool little spot and Johnson Cliffs offers a great view. The lack of leaves also offered a very nice obstructed view of blackwell and pine creek for a lot of the hike. We started around 1pm and the sun was brutal for most of the climb. There was zero snow on the trail, only saw a few tiny pockets that hadn't melted at the very top.

Hiked out to Stony Peak on Christmas day. Lots of new entries in the log book, and the trail to the top is starting to get noticeably worn in!
