Bear Wallow Canyon had a slow flow from the tail end of snow melt. Needless to say, Munds Wagon Trail #78 was a hit. We encountered people in the first mile but they vanished except one avid couple later on. A shame for the masses as #78 is a tad lackluster until you get 0.9 mi into it.

Cow Pies is nice but the show is Hangover Trail. It's a 100% cool on the whole, the middle mile gets me giddy. If they paved Schnebly it would likely be a zoo. Currently it's a hair too far for bi-annual hikers and they likely think it's risky. 15 years ago I thought it was risky. Now it's just a pleasant walk. Based on tread impressions it's way more popular with mountain bikers. This 2m 41s video takes you through the sweet mile. The drop off to their right isn't always apparent but it's there boy howdy. https://youtube.com ... 07j4 youtube allows you to change the speed to 2x under the settings icon
