We just did this. There was more water, perhaps from the recent rains, and for petite 5′ me, the water was above my knees in sections. I almost slipped and fell in but re-gained my balance. The guys in our group had an easier go across the creek, but still went gingerly.

All depends on the snow year. Mid-March or so perhaps. The creek crossing was very easy.

Now I have questions for you. How early in the year do you think a pleasant backpacking trip could be had there? And how bad was the creek crossing? Thanks.

Thank you. The sign is/was a bit misleading for sure.

Backpacking is permitted. The sign means, “No overnight camping IN THIS PARKING LOT.” Thought you would want to know.
