💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For the best experience at Onion Creek, visit during the spring or fall when temperatures are mild, and wildflowers are in bloom. Bring sturdy hiking boots, plenty of water, sunscreen, and a camera to capture the stunning vistas. Dress in layers, as temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day. Insider knowledge: arrive early to secure a prime camping spot and enjoy the serene ambiance before crowds arrive. Safety is key; be cautious of flash floods during heavy rains and stick to marked trails to avoid getting lost. Don't miss the captivating photo opportunities at scenic viewpoints and along the creek's edge, especially during golden hour. Lastly, respect the local environment by following Leave No Trace principles and keeping noise levels down to preserve the tranquility of the area.
