I do find if it starts to warm up around February that it is the best time to go. One time we had a large group with us. Some people insisted on getting off the creek and doing the primitive trail. 4 miles in half of them are about to pass out. I thought we were gonna have to call in. Because you know once you get on that primitive trail you aren't cutting through the woods to get off. Thankfully it worked out. This thread makes me wanna go back.

We started the day on the primitive trail, got off on the most southern part of it and stayed in the creek for about 2 hrs. Then came out of it and hiked back onto the primitive trail and then to the falls in the NW corner of the area. The hike out at the end was by far the hardest thing we did that day. My legs were shot.

I hiked primitive with the La Hiking Club a few years back. Some fat lady fell, and they had to send a Rhino down to carry her up the hill. La peeps not used to any sort of elevation.
