This was a nice evening hike in a new area for me. The scenery was prettier than I had expected, especially along upper Guindani Canyon, where a few patches of summer wildflowers brightened things up. A recent fire has blackened the northern slopes of Middle Canyon, along the south half of the loop. Today's discovery: my beat up point-and-shoot Kodak camera can withstand my full 200 pound frame slamming it against rocks on the trail.
