After choosing a location for the tent, I bring the bike the rest of the way down to China Hole.

I've chosen to set up in front of those two big grasses that I like. It's rocky down here on the creek bed, so there aren't many spots where a tent should go.

The best spot is right next to where the trail crosses the creek bed, so I may get a bit of traffic here. Hopefully not too much.

This is a long weekend (Labour Day weekend), but the Park isn't so popular this time of year because it gets so hot up here.
