Notes: This was done in two groups on two dates. The Campers and the Hodges did it on 1/7 during a windy storm. The Hikers had a perfect day on 1/28. The falls in Bear Gulch Cave were flowing very nicely, the reservoir was full and trail was green with new plant growth. The most amazing thing is that a few of us got to see Hot Condor Sex very close to the trail.
