good shade on a hot day. Suggest hike Horseshoe Bay to Cypress (dropped 1 car at Cypress parking lot) rather than the other way-the steep climb up the rocky/large scree section we preferred to coming down it. tiny parking lot at Horseshoe Bay trailhead-go early. saw nobody until Eagle Bluffs-then very crowded. A jump in Cabin lake at Black Mtn to cool off was a treat-lots of people in the water.

First Baden Powell from Horseshoe Bay
Tough boulder field, strait up and one or two tough ledges to walk around. I really could skip this hike the next time.
