This past weekend, I spent a couple of nights at Lost Valley and hiked around the area a bit. It brought back lots of great memories. What a beautiful area! Too bad they've closed the road to Jim Bluff. I'd like to go there again, but there's no way I would attempt hiking in/out! I'll have to float it someday, I suppose. There wasn't enough water (or time) to do it this trip.

We use to hike all the time at Lost Valley. My parents took me there all the time before I started going by myself. I have not been floating in a while, but I remember going and catching fish and never ever seeing anyone on the river. Now it is like Grand Central Station! It is beautiful up there though!

My family and I hiked Lost Valley last December and the waterfalls were great--the area had received a lot of rainfall in the preceding days. Unfotunately, possibly because of all of the rain, the elk were not grazing in the field across the highway from the Lost Valley entrance as they had been on my previous two visits.

Turning now to your comments, Richie, I have two questions for you. What is Jim's Bluff? Why would it be difficult to hike in and out?

Kevin, Jim Bluff was where we used to camp and swim a lot. It's close to Hemmed-In Hollow. It had a trapeze on a cable attached to the top of the bluff. It was a great place, but the road was terrible and steep. Hiking in would be okay, but you'd have to walk up the mountain to get out. Of course, OJ did drive his Camero down there once, but where didn't OJ drive the Camero!
