| no partners | | Really nice day, hot but not too much for this trek. Desert is draped in green velvet right now--so beautiful. Road to Muleshoe was rough last bit, due to rocks strewn about in the wash crossings.
Not sure of mileage as we went in at Bass Canyon. The conservancy has established a cute little trail in the canyon, easy to follow. Green and lush canopy, huge cottonwoods and sycamores throughout both canyons. Bit of a muddy bushwack as things had recently flashed, and it was humid. Nice to hike by a stream with a fair volume. Hot Springs canyon has no trail to follow. It is a bit of a slog to where the canyon starts to rock up. The initial small narrows had some nice swimming, but are completely avoidable by scrambling around on either side. The canyon opens and closes. Persist, the nicest short narrows are not far. A little swimming here also although most of it just chest deep wading on me. Brian didn't want to get wet and stayed dry the whole time. Charlie the city dog had a tough day, enjoyed the swimming, not the obedience training, and slept the whole way home. |
