East Clear Creek
July 12-15, 2017
This summer we've been wandering the back roads north of the rim in search of access to the many perennial creeks that water the region. With David and Rogil, we checked out some 4WD roads upstream from Blue Ridge Reservoir, and spend three glorious days hiking, swimming and relaxying by the creek.
Near the crossing, the river takes a sharp turn and passes through a tumble of layered sandstone.
The "trail" is primarily an elk track that wanders back and forth across the creek through dense brush.
