and a Coyote. Arrived at the trailhead around 5:10 AM. A fair amount of trees at the start. As you get farther in more and more of the old growth are dead due to fire. I went up to the Lookout and the old burnt tower is gone now. You still have the nice views but the fire hit hard in some areas. Once you pass Spillman spring all the old growth is burnt with lots of Aspen (6-12ft) Ferns and grass. There are a fair amount of downed trees with little reroutes or climbs over the top. The spring has some old logs as troughs and flowing about a pint or two a minute. The trail gets more sparse as you head towards Indian Spring with some flowers mixed in. Indian Spring looked like a tank to me with plenty of water but I saw no flow and the sign was gone (burnt?). Another mile on the loop and you were back into more and more trees. I liked this hike. If your in the area and have done the others close by... give it a try.
