About a mile along we ascended the steep drainage entering from the west and joined the official East Fork trail at the top. We walked south on the trail, encountering a deer and a turkey, for a couple miles, then, at a place where it veered west, we continued south off-trail until, after about a mile, we descended into the shallow east fork canyon and followed the creek downstream. Where the canyon narrows into a gorge, we climbed out to the east and continued north along the canyon rim. A sleek, fat coyote crossed our path here. Eventually we dropped into Butler Canyon, and it returned us to CR 1121 and our vehicle.
It was a gorgeous day, and, other than a single cyclist we passed 100 yards from our car, we saw no other people on the trail. As has been the case in recent springs, mosquitoes were out in force, and we were glad for the repellent that remained in our packs from last year. |
