A Quick Visit to Wet Beaver Creek

A few weeks ago we decided to visit Wet Beaver Creek to enjoy a warm day beside the running waters. Rather than hike a few miles up the canyon to the deeper pools we opted to visit the creek near the Beaver Creek Day Use area. It was a weekday and there were only a couple of other visitors. We were able to secure a spot with no one else around (at least until we decided it was time to leave and have lunch). Sitting in the warm sun and then wading into the cool water was refreshing. It won’t be long before autumn weather makes it too cool for this kind of relaxation–but for now it is still an enjoyable way to spend an hour or two. Here are some photos from that morning.
