| no partners | | | I loved this hike. The first part was a full of oaks and juniper. Then as I got into East Sawmill canyon, the vegetation added some Pinyons and Ponderosa Pines. The creek was flowing due to the snow above and was peaceful as it traveled downstream. What a wonderful hike! As the day progressed the winds picked up. After Sawmill Spring the burn area was evident. Lots of newer pine growth, downfall, etc. The trail was well maintained until it was wasn't. Then the buckthorn took over the trail and there was downfall across. It still wasn't *that* bad so I continued. Once I hit the Crest the wind nearly took me out. I continued to try to bushwack to Florida Peak but the wind gusts were crazy and after I got to the first little peak I decided it wasn't a good idea to continue because I could see dark clouds over Old Baldy. So I retreated as quickly as I could. |
