Quoteneogeo But that is disruptive of my enjoyment of one of the few places in SoCal that is a naturist place and destination. That sounds a bit selfish. There are not very many places to hike that you can also go swimming and even fewer hot springs and none of them seem to be "family friendly". That doesn't seem very fair to me since nature is for all of us to enjoy. I'm sorry thaby tcu11 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
Thank you for the advice and concern. The girls are required to complete a 5 mile hike before our girl's camp is one reason I thought of this hike for them because the distance is just about right. I have been to DCHS before and I think it is gorgeous and I think it would be a fun place for the girls to experience the natural beauty of the earth. I am aware that it will be a hard hike in and out,by tcu11 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
This Saturday the 7th I am planning on bringing about 20 girls ages 12-18 down to DCHS for a youth hiking experience. I am planning to take them on the Bradford Ridge Path because that is the one I am familiar with and we won't have to pay $5 per girl plus all of the leaders. However, I am not sure that is the best path for them. I know it is very steep and coming back up can be really hard. Is tby tcu11 - Deep Creek Hot Springs, Apple Valley, California
