Dry Meadow Creek is an amazing creek that flows into the Kern River. Locals call it the Teacups because there are great waterfalls, one after the other. Not many people run it though, due to the long hike and class 5 consequences. I took the two hour hike in (plus the ferry across the river on the back of a kayak with my camera floating behind me in a dry bag, then another 4 mile hike out) with Trevor Sheehan, Austin Nickell, Jeremy Mansbridge, and Jeremy's friend Dan. Props to all these guys for hiking with their heavy kayaks. There are six teacup waterfalls ranging from 12 feet to 22 feet. After these six waterfalls kayakers must take out due to the 60 foot water slide into a garden of boulders. The teacups are also enclosed by large slabs of granite rock making it impossible to get out once you get in. It was an awesome adventure to be a part of, and beautiful creek to see. Enjoy the photos, I sure enjoyed taking them!
