    Alternate Parking

    Also, if you haven't been to Bowen Ranch recently, a lot has changed, such as parking structure, location, and fees.
    Instead of writing it down, watch Wonderhussy's video [strong]www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ40ugbFdKA[/strong] and take note of the changes and other options.

    Try going mid-week. I'm hoping to get there and try the new place soon. It will be on a Tuesday=Thursday.

    [quote]... Is this a good time to make this hike? Too cold?[/quote]

    Always check local weather.
    During this time of year, daytime temps are ideal. Night time temps are cold, can get to 32F or below.

    Be prepared!
    If you're doing a day hike, bring supplies(water, food, etc) for 2 days.

    Most rescues are done from people who are ill prepared.

    There's virtually no cell reception down there.
    Tell somebody where and when you'll be that day.

    Example: "Hey (name of person), I'm going to Deep Creek Hot Springs for a day hike on Tuesday 9:00 am.
    I'm using Bradford Ridge trail to park my car and hike from that trail. I'm leaving Deep Creek Hot Springs by 3:00 pm that same day.
    If you don't hear from me by 9:00 pm on Tuesday night, call 9-1-1."

    There's an active forum regarding Deep Creek Hot Springs.

    Where to park?
    When to go?
    Crowd vibe during weekdays or weekends?
    Bring trash out?
    ...etc
