This walk has changed very little over the last few years. Unfortunately, the continuing dry conditions has reduced even the largest pools of water to little more than puddles.

The trail straight ahead has now been closed (probably because it is steep and very eroded). The much better and easier trail heads… Continue reading Walk 34 (Whiskey Creek Circuit)
