Nice forest hike. Nothing to write home about just a relaxing stroll. Once again I learned a new area. Forested throughout, exceeding my low expectations. Only small portions burned. North Rim views at one point are sweet. No trail maintenance issues. Russell Tank had plenty of water yet looked like it could hold much more too. The fire lookout at the northern trailhead offers excellent views.
Our hike in a nutshell...

The adventure didn't begin until the drive home. Not sure how it all started. Somehow we found ourselves weaving through mazes of virgin pastures. Looking at our track once home we were headed for the lava fields...lol Almost made it to SP Crater in a Ford Focus. I've never been so exhausted for such an easy hike. Apparently traveling all day drains me more than hiking.
Did not see many wildflowers blooming. Virtually millions of baby lupines that should put on a show in the future.
For this hike I slept a near record five hours the night before the hike. This was to help alleviate a repeat of last weeks mummy dance where Bruce whined of my whining (which was annoying). So today he whined about me being too peppy...lol |
