16 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain • 1 night
The forecast must have kept most people from venturing out this weekend. We only saw a handful of people on the hike out to 7.5 Mile Camp. While it was supposed to rain the whole time, we never saw more than some spats of rain until about dinner time. The rain didn't let up until morning though, so no hope of a campfire. It was beautiful out on Sunday, hardly any sprinkles of rain, but with all that fell over night, the falls were gushing like crazy. The sun even came out a few times, making for some great visions of vibrant wildflowers.

I was hiking with a few others Saturday morning so we might have been one of groups you saw. Turned out to be a decent day on the way back out (got pretty wet on the way in though).
