| no partners | | I’m calling this an ‘exercise hike’, as I wanted to stretch my legs a bit. My recent hikes have been (for me anyway) fun and interesting, but not very long. I chose Barnhardt Trail, as it takes basically no planning. Just jump out of the car and get on the trail.
No bushwhacking, no plants with needles to contend with, plus no need to bring a shovel to dig up little disks, & no need to bring ‘Fliver Dust’ to dress up the disks. It was a nice change of pace.
Barnhardt Trail is very popular, with a zillion triplogs etc uploaded to HAZ, so there’s nothing I can add, to this well documented trail.
I started at 7 AM, with the sun just getting above the mountains to the east. A beautiful day was at hand, with very few hikers on the trail. I stopped at the falls, and a few other scenic places.
I hiked to the end of Barnhardt - Then went south on Divide Trail for about 1/2 mile, had lunch and hiked back. It felt good to get a nice pace going and be able to keep it, as opposed to most of my off trail endeavors that have me stopping often, to evaluate my next 100 feet of maneuvering.
I should hike on trails more often.  |
