Mark and Connor left early this mornng for a hike in Ramona to Cedar Creek Falls. We had seen this featured in the newspaper as it has a waterfall, swimming hole, rope swing, and different height diving rocks. It also warned that you needed lots of water and not to take pets as it's over 4 miles round trip. As they were coming back, they passed a man who had suffered heat stroke and asked the guys to send the park rangers to help him as he wasn't responding to just water. They also came across a family who had brought their golden retriever and the rangers were trying to save him. The dog kept trying to find shade yet the owners kept dragging him on; rangers were dousing him with water to lower his body temperature in an attempt to save him. Mark said it ruined the day despite the rangers checking to make sure you had water with you (or they wouldn't let you pass) and warning to not take pets. So sad. They both enjoyed the hike and said it was beautiful.
Connor spent a little time trying to catch some fish in the swimming hole!
The trail back up - yikes!
