Features

• Small waterfall
• Stream
• Larger river
• Plenty of trails and exploring

There is a stream at the camp location where we can filter water. So if you have a filter bring it, otherwise, do not worry, I’ll have my large water filter.

This is a pack in pack out camping situation where we will hike to camp and then hike out the next day. About 2.6 miles to the north is Tenaja Falls, we will hike there on Saturday or Sunday to enjoy the falls.
