Description

Morning shade, secluded. A hidden niche in the wall located adjacent to the creek, with some nice swimming holes.

Getting There

This area is downstream, creek left just past the sub-area called Mordor. Use the trail that crosses Spring Creek just below the Confluence Wall. Follow the north side of Christopher Creek to an obvious crossing. Scramble to the upper ledge and follow this down creek past Mordor to The Cove.
