Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: most rock-hoppable. One I waded through. This is relatively a personal thing at this point. If you're really tall, and don't mind wet feet, no issues, if you're really short, and hate wet feet, bring water shoes, if you're amazing at rock hopping (and a little lucky) you'll be bone dry
