Tangerine Falls Loop (The Hard Route)

NOTE:
This is a solid class 3 hike. You will need to be able to jump from rock to rock (up to 3' gaps) hundreds of times, you will have to climb over boulders, you have to be comfortable with exposed heights, and have all-round agility (and shoes with good grip). You will also have to clamber through three fallen trees.
This is definitely not for the casual hiker, but if you are in good shape and have a good attitude, we'll get you through. We will not leave anyone in the middle of nowhere...

Having said all that...
We will go up to lower Tangerine Falls completely up the creek. We will not even go on the trail. After a rest at the lower pool, we will go to the upper part of the falls to scope out for a future rock climbing outing. We will go up the upper creek for a while.

We will return via the middle fork and west fork trails.

We will park at the west side of the trailhead since the bridge is out.
Meeting spot will be right where Cold Springs Rd hits Mountain Drive.
Be punctual please.
