Comments: This hike surprised us. With the rainstorm the night before the vernal creeks were running clear and the waterfalls were flowing. Easy walking on the top among volcanic rocks, green grasses and blankets of wildflowers. Eights days later the water was gone but the grasses were still green and the wildflowers taller.
