"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Ashdown GorgeWe did this as a two car day hike. Our route started from the Rattlesnake Trailhead in Cedar Breaks and then down through Ashdown Gorge finishing on Highway 14. It was cold in the morning starting above 10,000 feet so walking in the water wasn't bad down lower in the warmer areas of the gorge.

Ashdown GorgeLeft at 8:05 a.m. Fortunately the sky remained clear all day. Was 55 degrees F in the morning but once I got going, did not feel cold at all. Was back by 12:50 p.m. Not a single person around.
