I was last at Little Jimmy in 1991 with scouts. Glad to know the water is still flowing and drinkable.

Extra nice. I like how you set that big tent up with a raised airbed. It is just like a five star cabin with a view. I'm kicking it solo at table mountain at my camp fire watching me some fivemoreminutes . Tonight the starry sky is my shelter. TAGAY!

FYI, do not try this hike in 2024. High river flow makes it extremely difficult and dangerous. Next to impossible without truly risking your life crossing the river 50+ times.

Super interesting place. Did you know that the daughter of Delos Colby, Nellie had a husband but when asked by her parents to stay and take care of her while she was ill.. he declined and was never seen again. Turned out, the father Delos shot him between the eye and buried him inside the ranch. Skeleton was found while digging the area for farming years after Delos have died.

Thanks for the comment. We cleared all of the litters on the ground. When we got there, the trash bin in that volleyball court was with trash left behind by the people before us including the fire ring. But those were put away properly, packed out all our trash because it’s required by the care taker.

I really enjoyed Bear Canyon Trail camp when we went last year. However when we went there must have been a good 20+ in the camp. We stayed int he back of the camp then. I think next time I go there I would like to stay further up near the old rock cabin. It was part of the Twin Spruce Club Headquarters. Looked like you guys had a great time and some good food too!

First overnight that my wife and I did was here in early April 2002. We had the camp all to ourselves. Love to see that the camp tables are still there. I was a little freaked out about the bear warnings, but we hung our food in a tree on the other side of the camp and settled in for the night. I felt something poking me from my jeans pocket and pulled out a stick of cherry chapstick and put some on my lips, and my wife wanted some too. Just then I realized, "we are frosting ourselves for the bears!" Don't think I really slept a wink that night. Beautiful hike and camp, but that slope to get back up to the trail above the falls was a killer!
