We took Boulder Creek trail up to the junction with the AZ trail. Just before the two trails join we saw 2 deer take off up the lower slopes of Cypress Peak. From there we headed back along the AZ trail. About a mile later we hear dirt bikes coming towards us along this section of AZT (closed to motorized vehicles) :roll:

The rest was a nice hike along the excellent AZT tread and we saw the recent re-route to avoid the deep washed out section up above the Sycamore creek crossing. Very nice work Shawn.
Wildflowers along this loop were the best we've seen this year even though it is a down year.
