At the bottom of the canyon, I arrive at Pacheco Camp, at 1689 feet elevation.

A really nice spot. A quaint old cabin that Park volunteers have been keeping up (not open to campers), decorated by a number of huge old oak trees. For some reason, I wasn't expecting such a picturesque place.

There are several picnic tables and a horse camp here. This location is used sometimes as a home base for volunteer projects.

Ahhh, shade!!!
