[ show ]
| partners | | Joined Bruce and Joe for this cool loop starting from Locket Meadow TH. Bruce put together the hike going up to Waterline Trail and then following that to our jump off spot on the ridgeline leading up to Rees. This section is off trail and we originally thought it would be a slog of downfall but turned out to be very manageable all the way to summit of Rees. We took short breather on Reese but weather was starting to move in. We put on rain gear as it started to hail and rain climbing up Abineau but fortunately it didn't do much just cooling things off a bit. Had lunch on Abinueu with some awesome views of the aspens and Inner Basin and the sun decided to come out during the break.
After lunch we headed down adjacent ridgeline towards Waterline Trail on the backside between Abineau and Bear Jaw junctions. Great stand of aspens just before hitting Waterline so we stopped to enjoy the show before continuing. Once on Waterline Trail it's a fast track but again some great stretches of color with aspens all around. Really didn't see many people except for the 1.7 mile section between the Pump House on Waterline and the trailhead. Made it back around 5pm...great hike, crazy color and fun loop! |
