| no partners | | This was my last of two days hiking, of a planned 7night/8day (6/10 to 6/17) Vehicle Camping / R&R trip.
If already in the area or not, this is a very enjoyable, relaxing, scenic, easy to off-trail navigate, short loop hike (2 to 2.5hrs to complete). It includes hiking on some lesser-used open and closed to vehicle traffic Forest Road, an old Logging Road.
On this loop, hiking within the green, lush Middle Merritt Draw to view two of the three fenced-in Merritt Draw Riparian Areas. This hike goes by historic, Perennial, Merritt Spring Box Source, and also hikes by at least three other Middle Merritt Draw perennial, unnamed Spring sources. All Spring locations are waypoint detailed on this Hike Guide, "Official" posted Gps Route.
I hope my posted picset with detailed captions and tag notes will entice some to give this awesome hike, family friendly, a try! Lots of open space for the kid-O's to run and tire enough to almost guarantee a quieter drive home..  |
