| the hike |
This hike starts out on a smooth dirt trail . At the 1 mile mark, look for Petroglyphs next to the trail, on your left
The trail will parallel Wet Beaver Creek and soon begin to climb up into the rocks where the views are worth the work.
At about 3.5 miles We come to The Crack. This is a huge bouldered area where the creek flows below and forms pools of sparkling water.
The boulders offer the brave a chance to jump into the water for a refreshing swim. Come prepared. Bring a snack.
We will hang out here for awhile befor starting the 3.5 mile hike out.
