    It will be muddy, but easier to hike than ride. I am getting stir crazy on my days off.

    You going up from bottom or down from top. Up from bottom keep an eye for P-Oak, not sure how bad it is right now.
    Just where longs, and then change out and wash.

    Today was great. The mud is manageable. I actually saw some bikers.

    I found a friend on the trail too. I carried him off into the rocks. I can't believe how many people go to the falls. There is a sign now and a ton of traffic.

    I liked it more with the cement pipes. There is a ton of graffiti in the rocks. It is sad what a couple morons can do to a cool hike.

    Way cool. Thanks for the pics. Like @Faust29, I've ridden past it 40-'leven times and never hiked out there.
