Description
Big holds on steep, solid, north-facing limestone. The rock is weathered and textured in places, and water-smoothed down low. The wall is pleasantly cool because of both the north-facing aspect and because of the deciduous trees shading the rock.
A good summer crag because of shade, Low Tide isn't usable during spring when Rock Canyon Creek is running because the routes start in the creek bed.

Getting There
From the parking lot hike east along the trail until you are about to reach the first bridge that crosses the stream bed (about 20 minutes). Instead of crossing the bridge stay right and walk along the stream bed, passing a gully on the right (that leads to The Wild, The Zoo, Treasure Island, etc.
After the gully Low Tide is the wall on your right with the black area of rock near the bottom.
