Started with light rain from the Hatchery at 7AM. Upon reaching the rim road the sun was out and it was a bit windy heading down to Knoll lake. The lake is super low and mostly empty, nobody camping and only a few kayaks out. After a short break I headed almost due east up into the woods and after a cross country mile I hit FR115. Two miles back to make a left on the rim road, which had come alive with activity. After a brief stroll easterly, I found Horton Springs trail. And about 10 minutes later I lost Horton Springs trail. It has a humble beginning and an obvious finish. In between it's a bit of a mess and full of long grass. Plenty of folks at the spring eating lunch and boy scouts heading in to set up camp. I continued down another 1.5 miles to a favorite campsite found empty. After a quiet night, I started back up to the spring and made a left on the Highline. It was a nice stroll back over to the Hatchery, with a break at D.W. creek as usual. |
