| no partners | | | Did this trail with Micah as I had not done the Bratton Connector trail which connects this portion of the green Mountain Falls trails to Thomas trail. Temps were nice going up. Both trails are severely washed out in places from the recent floods. Halfway through Bratton it started pouring rain and Micah was a good sport. Thunder could be heard echoing through Ute pass, but was on the other side of the canyon we were in. It hailed on us a little as well. Both dogs are wet messy mops and the rasberries appeared to be finished off by the recent heavy rains. Catamount Falls were running heavy from the rain. You can use this trail to connect Thomas up the Garden of Eden Meadow above the falls and ultimately up Catamount Creek to North and South Catamount Reservoir. When Dewey trail was first built there was a trail that continued (still exists that continued to the resevoirs. It is higher up the canyon and apparently crosses private property. I hiked it early on never seeing any signs. A couple weeks after completion, people were hiking this just like I did since it was posted on Dewey trailhead map and were being turned away by an armed landowner. Christian Keesee owns the land at the trailhead and apparently purchased another 139 acres and volunteers built the Bratton trail which I assume is named for Dick Bratton who is the head of the Green Mountain Falls trail committee and organized the volunteers to build and maintain the GMF trails. |
