Headed down the Red Ridge trail to Catalina Camp. Relaxed at the cabin for a bit, signed the book and took some good pics. Saw tons of FRESH bear scat all over the trail. It must be a popular place for bears because there was just sooo much of it, fresh and old. Decided last minute to head up Oracle Ridge instead of backtracking the way we came. It was very very windy. At some points the wind took my breath away. It was a difficult trail for me because of all the loose rocks but the views were totally worth it. At the Oracle Ridge TH I sat my butt down (with my exhausted dog) and waited for the "limo service", aka my boyfriend to walk up to Red Ridge TH and get the car. I marked this with a red paw print because all the loose pointy rocks were not so great for my dog. He still had a great time though and so did I :y:
