Aahhh!! … Oooooh… YEeeeeeEEES!!!! … sharing info since 1995
Went up to Sykes for Valentine’s Day 2004. It was great.
There are a number (5?) of pools that border a chilly river. Great to go from hot to cold.
There were about 6 couples that ventured the 10mi hike to get in. Got a bad case of poison oak, so be careful and have fun.
