    I always enjoy your southern wilderness trips. The desert has a kind of beauty and mystic that not everyone can see.

      Really nice park to have so close. Can't wait for it to warm up a bit so we can swim in the river.

      It's nothing epic, but I love having access to DVSP so close to my house. Great place to explore for a night or two. And it's a great place to swim in summer! Thanks a lot for watching.

    Get Vid. I was down there Sunday and Monday to test out some new gear as well. 80+ during the day and mid 50's at night. Was too warm if anything! Get the Cedar Brake Outer Loop trail and that was fun.

      The park is so much better when the water is flowing. Especially during the week when no one is out there. Yall should definitely go after it rains some. We are lucky to have a nice place like DVSP so close to us!

      @CameronHall88  Рік тому +1

      It is just because it is so close. It's easy for me to be able to run over to within 30 minutes when I don't have much time. But I do enjoy the trails and creeks as well.
