Twenty minutes further down the steep switchbacks, the trail continues west, reaching this cascading stream crossing the trail.  It's about 1.7 miles after reaching the first switchback, the beginning of the steep descent of the trail.  I pack neoprene socks for this crossing.  Watch where you sit; there are nettles hidden in that verdant foliage!
