Begin the hike to the City Reservoir on the Lime Mesa Trail #676. Take the trail ½ mile to the junction with the City Reservoir Trail #542. The trail follows rolling terrain up and down mesas into meadows and gulches, before descending into the City Reservoir.Campsites at the reservoir are limited. The Florida Creek drainage includes quiet pools, raging waterfalls, cascades, and interesting rock formations. The alpine meadows are full of blooming wildflowers in late July and August. This area has excellent views and photographic possibilities. As with all high-altitude areas, storms can move in rapidly, bringing severe wind, lightning, rain, snow, or hail any time of the year. Plan accordingly.
When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike. Then link the trails traveled, check out the example.
WARNING! Hiking and outdoor related sports can be dangerous. Be responsible and prepare for the trip. Study the area you are entering and plan accordingly. Dress for the current and unexpected weather changes. Take plenty of water. Never go alone. Make an itinerary with your plan(s), route(s), destination(s) and expected return time. Give your itinerary to trusted family and/or friends.
