Bailey Canyon Falls: July 2024
This past week I've managed to clear most of the vegetation on the trail to Bailey Canyon Falls. It's a short trail. The tread needs a lot more work which I'll try to get to this week and next. But it's worth the 30 minutes or so to go see the falls which, surprisingly to me, are still flowing well for the middle of July. This isn't a big falls but it's a nice tranquil spot to get away from the heat.

Thanks HikeUp. Everytime I've been there it's a little challenging with all the ruts and overgrowth.
Sean & I added some steps to get up and over a small cascade today (crossing #4). I think Sean broke his back, though, so be nice to him for a change ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
Before you needed to sort of crawl up and could slip real easily. We figured it was the least user-friendly-safe part of the route.

Now there are "steps" that make it a class 1 route. Also, the creek has now been re-routed to the camera right, sorta.
After...

Nice work lads. I've never been to the falls. Now I have a reason to go and check it out.
Rerouted a crossing (#5) today. We'll see what mother nature says about it next rainy season.
A poor sequence of pictures (not from same spot and angle).

After chopping back some vegetation and adding stepping stones to get through the mud...
Not satisfied so after today's work: rerouted to the right, away from the mud...
