The Blue Range was feeling a little toasty and we were looking for a little relief after two pretty rugged days of hiking, so I suggested we relocate to
Escudilla.

We camped in my "usual" spot and hit the trail early the next day. Similar to last year, we caught the trail at the right time, as it had been cleared just days before and as a result we did not encounter as much as one log across the trail. The elk are still plentiful in the area and the recovery process seems to be well on its way in spots. The dogs naturally loved the trail and Jackie was a big fan of this easy walk up peak as well. The gentle grade and freshly cleared trail led to a pretty quick, but leisurely hike up and down. We only saw one other person the trail and finished just a few minutes before nine in the morning.
