It was never tagged up in the 90’s and was always kept clean . Some of us don’t bring spray paint and Modelo beer to have a good time . Please keep this place clean . Also maybe read some history books on the people that were in these mountains long before any of us And even with gold mining and other ventures never destroyed it like this new generation.

You were not kidding about getting there very early!! I did go yesterday. I arrived about 11am and it was already very crowded at the picnic area so I proceeded to go past that to the 2nd bridge area. That area too was super crowded, so I continued further to where the road ends. Miraculously I did find parking. I hiked down to the river and what a beautiful area. I found a quiet area with some shade. The temperature yesterday was easily 100 degrees and felt 🥵. Dipping in the very cool water was refreshing. Exiting was a nightmare, though. Cars parked in many areas that had signs posted No Parkjng. Cars blocking many driving areas. I left about 2:30pm and it was very tricky driving out, in some areas only one car could drive through. We were driving literally up close to the parked cars and scraping by oncoming traffic. It was insane!!! Great driving skills were required here. But definitely was worth the trip 🙌

This water is very cold and is very unlikely you’ll find any rattlers on it, there could be some gopher snakes not venomous usually where there aren’t any people since they are very shy.
