essay bro
Deer Creek runs dry in the
summers. Spring is the season to visit
Deer Creek.
We are very anxious to
visit the big exciting canyon 2.5 miles farther upstream and we feel confident
that there will be higher waterfall/waterfalls in the Upper Deer Creek Canyon. It appears on Google Satellite image, that
this Upper Deer Creek Canyon may even host some technical canyoneering.
