    Thanks for sharing. I definitely need some courage to get my butt up there.

      You can do it. It's really a great hike. The rocks along the slot creek are very slick. But other than that, there's not any real danger to it.

    I just got back from there! Totally dry and low water conditions, No skeeters. Totally beautiful and rewarding hike.

    Thanks for the video. Hiked this the other day and made it to paige falls, missed all this which i was really hoping for. Will have to go back in a few weeks.

      @Wildo Oh no!!! Yeah Paige Falls is definitely well past the turn to Thunder Canyon. I hate that you missed it. Be sure to look for the creek coming from Thunder Canyon that runs into Cecil Creek. It's a left turn there and hike up that feeder creek.

    We did the whole Cecil Cove loop and the Thunder Canyon Falls last week. 8.05 miles total. Pretty easy except for the landside area that wasn't there when you filmed this, I don't think.

      @cuz129 you're right, that landslide happened after I filmed this. I want to go back and hike the whole Cecil Cove loop. But I want to backpack it and camp out. Not that it can't be done in a day...I just think it would be a cool spot to hike into and spend the night.

      @@AROwnBackyard just curious, what is your favorite? I went to this one a couple weeks ago and it's probably my favorite so far.

      @del nayr - It's hard to say, but I keep coming back to Twin Falls in Richland Creek as probably my favorite: www.arownbackyard.com/2020/05/08/richland-falls-and-twin-falls-hike/
      But Thunder Canyon is definitely up there as one of my favorites

      Thank you! Always appreciate your comments, brother. Yeah that creek wasn't as deep as I thought once I checked it. There might be some smallmouth in there for ya though in some of the pools!

    Wading the river did not look like a pleasant thing for December, even for down there.
