Did a short overnight trip and this place never disappoints! While the hike in is really short, there are many great places to put up a tent. Where this place shines is if you ditch the trail and climb the canyons. Be careful as rattlesnakes are out and about. I ran into one while exploring the upper canyon area. I would recommend trekking poles so you can tap around on rocks to lets any snakes nearby know you are there. Snakes want nothing to do with humans and will avoid us if possible. Great first backpacking trip for those with little to no experience.
NOTE: The creek has changed over time and has moved from where it used to be just a few years ago. When hiking the trail in, make sure you stay on the trail closer to the north wall of the canyon. There is a trail that steers to the south side and it is much harder to cross the creek. Stay to the north and you will have no issues crossing the creek.
