Fish Creek Hike 6-20-09
#1
I've posted enough about how much I love this place.

No big flowing water this time but that made more routes to be able to take through the twisting rock stacks the waterfalls usually occupy. Plenty of boulder climbing fun.
Never seen it so alive either. The pools were crammed with large tadpoles. The water would literally froth when you approached its edges. They were already legged and I can't even imagine how many frogs will be down there in a couple weeks. There were also actually fish in Fish Creek- almost catchable brim (sunfish). Birds, a snake, and a palm sized spider were spotted as well.
Found a clean 7ft deep pool with mostly minnows and swam for a while.

Some quick snapshots





Almost time to leave the water


Just reflections

Thanks.
Chris a lot of the rock was like that. Good for climbing but in some spots each hole had a frog in it 8| so you had to check before using them as holds.
Just thought the water reflection looked cool on it.

I've never made this trip, but I love this place.

Thanks for sharing, Mike.
