NOT THE SUPER BOWL
I was not really into watching the Super Bowl this year. I don’t even know who was playing (well, maybe I know that at least). I would rather go hiking. So that is what I did after church on Sunday.
I have been wanting to try this hike for awhile. Access is difficult to say the least. I arrived at the trailhead in the early afternoon (there is no trail so I guess I cannot really call it a trailhead). I found the creek to be flowing very strong. I was not expecting there to still be so much water. My plan was to wade up the creek but that was not going to be possible now. So instead, I crossed the creek and climbed up the other side. I did not think I’d get very far now but I had to try it. Well much to my surprise I found an old trail following the creek upstream. This was very unexpected. It was very difficult to follow. It was very overgrown. The poison oak was treacherous, but I continued all the way up to the confluence of the two creeks. I was literally shocked to get this far.
This was about as far as I could go. There was a small waterfall here on Antelope Creek, barely 20 ft. high (being generous), but it was a nice little cascade. There was a smaller waterfall on the other creek. My wife would think it was a waterfall but I did not think so as it was only about 10 ft. high. I took photos of the 20 footer.
I am sure there is a bigger waterfall upstream. I climbed above the small waterfall. I could see another small drop but no big waterfall. I could not find a way to continue any further. At least not very easily. I decided to call it a day and turn back. Perhaps if there was less water I could make it further. I may return some day but it was very difficult just to get this far. It was a good Super Bowl Sunday for the Waterfall Madman.
