How to get to the pool??? Any one plese

morales borre thru cali | Sep 13, 2021
Jason Hirsch | Jan 16, 2022

I was there a few days ago. I would suggest to follow the black pipe. Don't stray from that. This was the hardest place to find. We took a wrong turn and spent an extra 2 hours going up a open trail. You need to cross the stream 3x.
