If you came for an overnight stay Visitor Center Campground is a great place to camp; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Colorado River.
A short trip to Santa Maria Spring is always worthwhile, and Hermit Basin is a splendid location to check out. Some of the water close by flows, like Boucher Creek, and do schedule some time to visit Point Sublime if you have a chance. Looking for some flowing water? Try Hermit Creek, and Fourmile Spring is a gorgeous spot to check out while you're at Boucher Trail.
