8.5 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
It was supposed to rain all day, and heavy, but it ended up being totally dry and a good day to hike (go figure!). I started at Herman Creek TH, where there were only 3 other cars @ 10am. I hiked up to the jct w/ the 405-E bridge trail and made my way down to Herman Creek, where I actually saw the trail's namesake for the first time! Very nice! Then up to the PCT where it crawls across a few talus slopes and in and out of spongy, mossy, wooded enclaves to the Herman Creek Pinnacles. I decided to continue hiking as the weather was nice, so I kept going all the way to Dry Creek falls. Returned the same way, only ran into a dozen or so people all day.
