| no partners | | We decided to head up to the blue range for a hike and check out some of the area since the wallow fire. There was quite a bit of fire damage made me sad to see it all burned, but the good news is the aspen trees are coming in nicely.
The start of the hike was very green, yellow wild flowers are all along the trail. Be aware there are quite a few fallen trees over the trail, about 20 or so. I also decided to wear shorts for the hike, bad idea. There are a lot of thorn bushes in a few places along the tail so my legs got some scratched up!
Kp creek was beautiful and green, the creek crossings are easy to pass without getting wet. The fire damage was not as bad as I expected on the trail, the only bad parts was the flood damage. There where a lot of birds in the area even saw a nest with an egg in it.
We decided to stop at the valley before the confluence of the two creeks in the flat area to have lunch. It was a nice spot with the small waterfalls going down the creek. It seemed like a good idea at the time then we where going to continue on to the larger 10+ft water fall. Before we where done a storm moved in and it started raining on us we had to pack up and head back without seeing the larger of the falls. 
The hike back up was a nice little workout my son did awesome he is a trooper. Overall a good hike very green lots of flowers, just surprised we did not see and animals. I would have liked to see this hike before the fire. |
