Otter and Big Creek Falls - Taylor River

Road conditions awful as described by others, but if you go slow it is possible to get there even in a smaller car. Rivers and creeks running high with snowmelt. Lots of blowdowns over the trail, but gorgeous views of the peaks on a clear day. Big Creek was awesome with the sun beating down on the old concrete bridge! Slushy snow on more than half of the trail length to Big Creek. Not difficult, but plan on an extra 1/2 hour at least in each direction of the 10 mile round trip (feels like 12 or 13 with the snow). The cairn marking Otter Falls trail is buried in snow or gone, but a pair of swimshorts hanging in a tree on the uphill side of the trail marks the spot. Only one creek crossing was difficult for younger kids, but our group of 15 made it through just fine.
