Last hike of the Memorial Day weekend FOTG planned a short 6 miles out and back down KP Cieniga Creek. My first time down this creek and it was worth the hike for sure. Some fire damage but the trail has been maintained and easy to follow. The goal was hiking to confluence of South Fork and North Fork of KP. Some nice waterfalls at the confluence and we spent some time checking out the area. Afterwards we headed uphill about 200 feet above the falls and took a break. As we were sitting there Lee spotted a bear coming up the trail and we all watched as it continued towards us. It was a safe distance away and probably picked up our scent since we had just been down where the bear was. After several minutes the bear turned slowly and headed back down the trail. Cool to see and great end to the weekend!
