| partners | | After our morning to mid-afternoon 1st attempt hike to reach the "Horse Canyon Ruins", our late afternoon was planned to tool around the various FRs in this remote and scenic section of the Sierra Ancha Mountains (between Hwy188- Roosevelt Lake in from Pumpkin Center and Hwy288- the Young Hwy). Eric wanted to show me some of his favorite stomping grounds for previous posted hikes on HAZ. We covered a lot of high clearance and 4x4 miles on our way to end at this "Malicious Gap" TH at 5pm (only about one hour before dark).
This "Malicious Gap" location is a tricky one for timing in order to arrive when all the stars and planets are aligned just perfectly for his hike description discussed 45 foot most awesome water fall to be flowing for that picture perfect moment.
We originally had no plans to hike to the waterfall as Eric just wanted to show me the TH Start and Camping Location, but when we arrived, we noticed that Greenback Creek was flowing due to snow melt, so this meant that the Malicious Gap major waterfall might also be flowing..  We took a chance one hour before dark, hiked the rocky creek .37mls one way and it was definitely the highlight of my day to see this colorful rock falls in its awesome setting.
Dinner at the historic "Butcher Hook Restaurant" in Pumpkin Center to close a very fun day. |
