This hike is in the Cache
(pronounced: "cash") Creek Natural Area, and follows
the ridgeline border of the Cache Creek Wilderness
(established 2006).
There is a crossing of Bear Creek. The
flow ranges from easy to impassable. The
Bear Creek Flow Gauge gives current flow readings.
5 CFS is skip across
15 CFS is may get feet wet
110 CFS is wade across (might be dangerous)
854 CFS is from Feb 2007, following large storm
[on Jan 4, 2008 the flow
went from 4 CFS at 12:45 AM to 2,970 CFS at 2:30PM.
That's 740 times as much!] [Also from 737 CFS to 2580
CFS in half an hour around 1:30 PM]
This is former ranch country,
and there are multiple old 4WD routes. Recommended to
bring gps, if not well-skilled in following topography.
