| no partners | | Got in after the last of the spring rain fell on The Supes. Drove in the dark, and the sun came up when I got the trailhead. Already a couple cars there. 88 was being worked on and was improved by the time I left. The offshoot road to the TH was very smooth.
Water pouring down the many drainages on 109. Good wildflowers closer to the TH. Turn off for the falls was cairned and obvious if looking for it.
It was faint in places but mostly easy to follow. Drops down like Hell's Gate after the wilderness sign. Tons of water in the creeks at the bottom. Had to enter Reavis Creek to the knee at the numerous crossings. Eventually made the falls and it was quite the sight. Spray from the bottom drifted out thirty yards or more.
Hung out for a while and returned back down the creek. Only saw one group of people who had tried to go to Cherry Creek in the Ancha but couldn't cross the swollen waterway. Ended up a very late start for them. Great cloudy views of Four Peaks on a bed of wildflowers and the overfilled Salt River and Apache Lake for the finishing miles. |
