Good overview of the area. Yes, the McNally Fire in 2002 torched a lot trees :(. Good to see areas are growing back and the Hot Springs are still good.

We just hiked this yesterday! 13.5 miles round trip from Blackrock trail head down to the hot springs and back up again. Shew! Neat hot springs. I didn't see any of the cabins in your video. We filmed Shorty's cabin and the General store and the Lodge as well.
the place looks great! headed there next year because of this. broke 3 of those filters over the past few years. they have changed the quality of the material... it's junk now. i use a steri-pen, lighter, kills all and has the cool factor.
@barrykolsky Hey, if you go to the falls its located on Ninemile creek right below the Soda Flat area. Look for lots of granite. Theres a cabin there on Soda Flat(private property). Just follow the barb wire fence around the privatre property downstream to a little used trail to the brink.Watch your step by the brink loose soil and big exposures.
@acewinchester Mine is not under warranty anymore. Im looking at a Katadyn Pocket .......... but man its pricey :) I like the stainless steel housing.
@enjoythewildUSA Black rock Camp is the trailhead. Long drive to get there but we only saw one person in the canyon in three days.... its out there :)

Awesome! A good place to be when the mountain is covered in snow.

Is that the Nine Mile Canyon you see off the 395 near the Kennedy Meadows turn off? I think there is also a 5 mile canyon near there too.
mobiltec 1 year ago
@mobiltec Yup, you take that turnoff for Kennedy Meadows and drive 40 miles up the mountain to 9,000 feet to the trailhead.
