DesertMud - Hiking, Mountain Biking, Pine Trees, Southern California
Deep Creek Hot Springs Update

the hike:
Deep Creek Hot Springs, Warm Springs
date: 06/08/2000
location: San Bernardino NF, Southern California, USA
type: Out & Back
distance: 12 Mi RT
difficulty: **
scenic: ***.5
technical: *
driving directions: Park at PCT trailhead at bottom of dirt Hwy 173.
hiking route: Hike PCT, cross deep creek, go up to near large concrete spillway thing, hike PCT into hot springs, keep going past hot springs to warm springs.
details: This was a pretty long way to go in, but deep creek is always cool. If you want to see naked women (of all shapes, sizes, and ages) go on the weekends. On the way out, it was getting pretty dark and no moon, so we didn't really want to get back into the jungle of brush near the Mojave River on PCT, so we walked across the dam and almost all the way across we cut down the rocks of the dam and walked through the Mojave River (which was dry) and hopped back up onto the PCT, it was a great shortcut. On our way in though, near where we crossed at the beaver dam on Deep Creek, I fell off this like 5 ft bank that I didn't know was a bank, messed up my shoulder and my backpack landed on my head and pushed my face into the dirt, it hurt, but it was really funny, I couldn't stop laughing.

There are few corners of California in which Tom Stienstra has not set Vibram-soled foot at one time or another.
In this information-packed guidebook, the longtime San Francisco Chronicle outdoors columnist catalogues the best (and the rest) of the Golden State's trails, combining his encyclopedic knowledge with that of another accomplished trekker, Ann Marie Brown. The two cover more than a thousand hikes that range from short jaunts to multiday expeditions, rating each walk for length and difficulty and providing notes on water sources, points of interest, permits, contacts, and other useful data. At the most demanding end of the scale, for example, is a 14-mile scramble up Mount Shasta, for which they recommend that you carry an ice ax and crampons; on the moderate side is the 10.6-mile ramble through Pine Valley, in the coastal mountains above Big Sur, with "an up-and-down course that soon becomes more down than up"; and on the easy end is a 1.2-mile round-trip amble along the Desert View Nature Trail near the summit of Southern California's Laguna Mountain. In every instance, Stienstra and Brown tell what you can expect to see and where you're likely to encounter trouble in the form of storms, predatory mammals, or crowds.
Thoroughly updated, this is by far the best single source of information on planning a hiking trip in California. --Gregory McNamee (Review © 1996-2001, Amazon.com, Inc)
