| no partners | | Just now getting around to loading this hike. Did a solo backpacking overnight to Taylor Cabin. Started out at Sycamore Basin TH, checked out the ruins quick then made my way on my adventure! Followed a couple of the previous routes listed to find my way down into the canyon then hiked up for a while until I hit the side canyon where I was planning on exiting and catching the Dogie trail. Once I got into said side canyon I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a way up It wouldn't have been too difficult with just a day pack on...but it's a different story with a full on pack with overnight gear. I eventually made my way up out of the canyon and found my way over to the Dogie trail.
I enjoyed a nice hike on an actual trail over to the Casner trail. The hike up Casner Mountain was a beast! Especially after already having hike down and back out of the canyon. I slowly made my way up Casner (with a few breaks to rest!) and up and down to where the Taylor Cabin trail connects. The hike along Casner was beautiful with some great views on both sides. Taylor cabin trail was quite pretty - starting in some pines and then winding down a narrowish canyon eventually getting back down into Sycamore Canyon. I stopped for a few to enjoy the scenery at the Sycamore Creek/Taylor Cabin Trail junction and filtered some water. Then I made my way down the canyon and to Taylor Cabin for the night. I was the only one there and it was quite peaceful to be out there all alone. The following day I got up and made my way back to the car following the Sycamore Basin trail. This was one of my favorite hikes - very pretty!
My phone was dying a bit before I got to the cabin so I stopped tracking the route to save battery life. Edited it on here though so that's why the route looks a bit funky for part of it |
