115 – Hellhole Canyon, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

This was a 5-1/2 mile in and back trail through Hellhole Canyon to the lovely Maidenhair Falls. Including such happenings as being attacked by a jumping jolla cactus, passing through a palm oasis and climbing over giant boulders in order to reach the lovely Maidenhair Falls, this was one very spectacular hike!
