Whites Creek had been running hard a couple of days earlier — The trail was buried in debris and had been submerged under many feet of water. 2

Whites Creek on the Whites Creek Trail South Loop — Looking upstream

Whites Creek on the Whites Creek Trail South Loop — The trail at the bottom of the descent down to Whites Creek had been washed out, and parts of the trail were knee-deep in water. Nothing unexpected after all the rain we have had.

Appearances can be deceptive — A quarter of a mile upstream the creek was dry. I had to backtrack a little way to get water for lunch and to stock up with water for the afternoon and night. There wasn’t going to be any water where I planned to stop.

Camped near Whites Creek — This is not where you are supposed to camp, it is far too close to the creek but it was getting dark when I arrived and this is an established camping spot with a fire ring (I didn’t use it).

Whites Creek — All the leaves stuck in the brush are a good indicator of how high the creek got a couple of days ago.

On the South Loop of the Whites Creek Trail — despite the whole area being flooded yesterday, the trail was not washed out (here, anyway).

Whites Creek — close to its confluence with the Eleven Point River — I stopped here to have lunch and enjoy the view.

Spring water, Whites Creek. And in a few minutes I’ll be climbing the hill on the other side of the creek. +2

Crossing Whites Creek – You have to cross Whites Creek to get back to the main Whites Creek Trail. It’s not very obvious in this picture (or in reality), but the trail climbs up the bank just to the right of the tree on the left side of the frame.
