I was looking for a hike where I could get some miles without it being a real workout. This area is always great for that.

We headed down Turkey to the confluence with Beaver, but then cut west over to Open where I finally got to take some time and enjoy what I had mostly missed while dodging flash-bang lightning strikes the first time through. The lower section has some deadfall but also a couple of nice little waterfalls and pools. The upper part is just a pleasant meadow.

Two minutes after we got back to the truck, Team Buford™ happened to be driving by on the road, making the task of figuring out how to find their camp as easy as possible. Then the real fun started...
