Nice relaxing spot! The water level was low when we went, but still enjoyable! Is a pretty popular hike with a lot of foot traffic and many people take a dip in the pool of water. Take the bear warnings at the beginning of the trail seriously as there was a bear seen by some hikers ahead of us. You can park at the picnic area parking lot at the beginning of the trailhead if you buy an Adventure Pass, otherwise you need to park up the hill and hike down/back up to your car to reach it.
