Bridge rock
Most people go ahead and wade this section, as I did the first time or two. Since then I have crossed via this rock, and managed to keep my feet fairly dry. Vince is considering it here; I can't remember whether he continued across or not (that first or second step down isn't easy). This photo is from 2008-12; on the 2009 hike the water was lower than I have ever seen it, and less wave activity. It was possible to pass this pool by going either side of the rock and keep one's feet dry.
