I found what looked like a very old road on the other side of the creek. It was short lived then I crossed back to where the road was. It's a big scree area they have scraped into a semblance of a passage. A high clearance or rental car would make it. The area of the picnic tables and outhouse survived. The trail through here is as of old, then you start seeing a lot of scree and openness in the canyon bottom that was not there before. Some of the trail crossings of the stream hang in space, the bottom now downcut. The trail is gone in sections, flagging is helpful. Some of my maple stands are dead or on the way out. The flood damage is depressingly impressive. I found a few bright trees, others still green, at least the healthy ones. The sycamores seemed to have fared much better. Water is flowing in nice abundance, and the stream bed clear in most areas. I passed by the area maple camp once was, unrecognizable now. On up the trail is brushed out but you can still make your way. This area is beautiful, but not the fall destination it once was. |
