| no partners | | | After reading that the Chesley Flat Trail had been reworked this year by trail crews, it seemed like a fitting hike for today, as I hadn't hiked it in 4 years, and the dirt road portion of the Swift Trail closes until April 15 beginning tomorrow. I left Chesley Flat at 4 pm, and was delighted to discover the Chesley Flat Trail to be in perfect shape. No difficulties in following the trail now. With temperatures hovering just below freezing and a stiff breeze blowing, I was glad to be wearing pants, fleece sweatshirt, gloves and a hat upon arrival at the summit of Webb Peak. I climbed the new(!) stairs of the fire tower for a view, then descended the short branch of the Webb Peak trail to the Ash Creek trailhead. A quick turnaround and I was at Webb's summit again at dusk. I made the hike back down Chesley by headlamp, and wasted no time in hiking away from the junction with the unsettlingly spooky Blair Canyon Trail. I didn't see another vehicle on the entire drive down. I liked that. |
