Middle Fork of Lytel Creek 6/20/2009Two friends and I made a quick jaunt through Middle Fork of Lytel Creek yesterdayThe weather was ideal, cool and cloudy until we dropped into the canyon, warmish and sunny in the canyon. Cool breezes on the way out! WOW don't think I could have asked for better weather We left the trailhead at 7:30am and returned at 1:00pm Too bad Claudia has to head back to Arizona

Good looking stuff. Don't suppose there's a way for us non-canyoneering folks to get to that falls? | ||||

Oh Yeah You can hike to the base of the lower falls... There has been a crowd there 2 out of the 3 times I've done this canyon It's way nicer than Bonita w/o the graffiti, trash and tourons Matt |

 I recall some sections of that trail up the Middle Fork are pretty steep.

There's not much shade until you get to the wilderness boundary, that's why Saturday was sooo nice... Nothing I'd call steep until you start ascending beyond the camp As to the "Third Stream Crossing" camp, I generally exit right near the spring that is flowing on the trail 100 or so yards before the camp There are a couple spots you'll have to scramble up in the canyon but I've see plenty of scouts and a couple with an infant there.
