I woke up at my Jesus-Goudy campsite, then drove down to visit Riggs Lake. It had been a couple of years since I had been here and it was great to see this wonderful place. I walked around the lake on the loop trail, then journeyed east along the Swift Trail to my next destination...
I parked my truck off Bible Camp Road and began hiking up one of my most favorite Pinaleno trails: Deadman-Highline. Hooray! My homemade trail sign I had put up in 2010 was still there! The first half mile of the trail had been cleared of deadfall, after that there were quite a few logs across the trail. I did as much trail maintenance as I could, flinging branches, dragging logs, and clearing the trail, but the trail really needs the help of a chainsaw.
At the 9600' saddle I began searching for an old connector trail I had just read about. I found a couple of possible blazes, but I think the trail was likely destroyed in the Gibson Fire blaze. I continued up the ridge to my usual Frye Canyon overlook stopping point, and sat down to rest upon the rocks and survey the countryside far below. Spectacular as always! Man, have I missed this place. After a lenghty visit, I headed back down to my truck. More places to see... |
