Upper Lopez Canyon

The hiking here is awesome, a few key trails that were fun, however everything is hard to reach. The site we stayed was private property with covered RV storage, 30Amp Electric service, and water/sewer. The site also had a nice stream that ran through it, we enjoyed sitting on the stream and cooking outside.

This is a popular area, many people use it on a day use basis. The streams are abundant and hiking weaves between canyons with access to a waterfall. High clearance vehicle is required for many water crossings. We observed many people arriving and having to turn back to park prior to the main water crossing due to clearance issues.

I did get the oppurtunity to ride my bike here. The riding was hard as nearly every hill was > 8% grade and 1.5 lanes of two way traffic. Riding to the hiking spots along the access roads was harder then I expected. I did not feel like hiking through water. I guess I was being wimpy, I am not sure I would do it any different today.
