| partners | | Nice weather today to do another short section of trail in Yellow House Canyon in Lubbock. No time to do anything lengthy because we have pig food, bird food and people food errands to get done today. This is an urban trail along the North Fork of the Twin Mountains Fork of the Brazos River. There is no real trail here just some two track paths and where there were none you find your own path. There is a road passing through the middle of this section that is not easily crossed on foot and the creek bed is a marshy maze of cat tails, I would rather push my way through catclaw than navigate through marsh. Luckily there is a bridge crossing the road that made the crossing easy. You do have to climb up about 50 feet which is why this route has an AEG of 150 feet. We wanted to check out this section of trail because there are two train trestles crossing the creek in this area.
We did see another Black Crown Night Heron on this hike. Wild sunflowers, purple morning glories and what I was told were 4 O'clocks. Enjoyable walk especially since the weather was nice. I can't help but think the city could do so much more along Yellow House Canyon with bike paths and walking trails. |
