Took my family, wife and 4 kids, to the north trailhead. Grass was green and new growth on the willows was just starting to show. The desert parsley is just beginning to sprout. The creek is flowing swiftly and becomes a decent ford about a half mile from the parking area. My dog enjoyed the cool dips into the creek. Turned around at the creek crossing.

Hi:
Tomorrow looks to be a nice warm day, and I am thinking about going to Douglas Creek Canyon for a hike. You wrote a report on the North portion of this trail about a year ago. The WTA description is lacking in detail about how to get to the trailhead--can you give me an idea? Did you approach the Canyon from HWY 2, H Road, and Slack Canyon Road? Is there an obvious place to park and start walking?
Thanks for any suggestions you can share with me.
Lindy

I did take the route south from highway 2. Road H SW turns into Slack canyon. The parking is pretty obvious. It’s an actual trailhead with a gravel parking area.
