Arrived just after 0800 this morning. Only one other car in the lot. It was absolutely POURING. We went in about .75 miles and turned back at a decent size water crossing. Not many stable rocks to hop around on and we didn't feel comfortable having our dog navigate that crossing today. We made the sad decision to turn back and try again later this winter. I think most people would be fine crossing, it wasn't terribly deep. The entire trail is a flowing stream due to the rain up until that crossing lol.
We decided to hike back to the junction and explore part way up the Quartz Creek trail. Haven't been on that trail before and had no idea how long it was. We turned back after our waterproof layers were just too saturated.
We ended the day just shy of 2 miles. Bummer, but there is always next week!
