| no partners | | Happy to return and find the gravesite this time since the original triplog has incorrect mileage from TH to Gowan grave.
The grave is actually closer to approximately 3 miles in, well marked and obvious, just before the convergence of the two creeks and the level campsite area.
We went a bit beyond this area for lunch among gurgling cascades and a mossy faerie land. Exploring around our lunch area my honey discovered a geocache of sorts, stuffed with treats n goodies, including extensive history on Gowan and the area. We took nothing but added some treats and signed the 'register' inside, starting entry of 2012, most recent of 2016.
This hike supplies a lil of everything we Zonans have come to love as far as flora and fauna; from prickly pear and mamalaria to a neon red cardinal and rainbow rocks to cypress and sycamore, this trek offers eye candy for nature enthusiasts. I suspect when water's present it's great for avian peepers too.
Perfect weather, only passed 2 other hikers and only one piece of trash all made me thrilled this hasn't exploded on social media (yet?). |
