Maybe better that way. The water is so cold that when you hit it, you instantly have an urge to take a deep breath. I don't know how people do it from high up. I jumped from about 12 feet, was underwater for like 2 seconds, and felt like I was completely out of breath when I got to the surface

It's not too tough, depending on when you go. If it's a long weekend it'll probably be pretty busy.

If you see a bunch of cars parked by the side of the road, there's probably an animal. If you can't see it, don't get out to go look. A lot of people get too comfortable with the animals that are used to cars stopping next to them because they mostly just ignore you, but they're wild and any one of them could be in a bad mood and murder you so I don't recommend getting close. Even the bighorn sheep get a little fiesty now and then and you do not want one of them to smash you with their head

Bring bear spray or buy some there. You probably won't need it, but if you do, it might be the difference between having a cool story and being mauled to death. Especially if you're getting away from the crowded spots

Also check out horseshoe lake! Even if you're not keen on jumping from a cliff into really cold water, it's a beautiful little spot

I'm only 3 hours away from the mountains so maybe I'm biased, but if you like beautiful scenery and/or photography I think it's definitely worth it. 6 months later and I'm still going through the hundreds of pictures I took and finding little gems here and there that I skipped past before

Not true. Opioids are better at pain control than NSAIDs. There are other options besides otc NSAIDs and opioids, too, like ketolorac.

This also isn't about who can handle more pain without resorting to narcotics. If you didn't need anything but otc NSAIDs, don't assume it's because you're more tolerant of pain. You just weren't in as much pain.
