I really need to get a different car if I'm going to keep driving forest roads like FR84... my Camry is willing but feels the abuse! Oh, those potholes! We saw a bunch of people with buckets along the way; perhaps looking for mushrooms?
The first part of Big Creek Trail 252 (from the north TH) is riddled with loose rocks and rutted, but it soon improves. The crossings of Big Creek were easy this time of year, providing perfect mid-stream viewpoints for the falls. The lake was placid and lovely on an unseasonably warm day.
We hiked above the lake to the high point of Big Creek Trail 252 where we rested and enjoyed a snack, while talking to a young backpacker.
Another trip report mentioned the baby frogs. There were still quite a few of the adorable creatures, but not so many that we worried we were stepping on them.
We saw a few motorbike tracks along the trail, which blew my mind! The trail is rough and steep, and parts of it have a serious side-slope. I'll stick with my boots, thank you!
