| no partners | | Did a counter-clockwise loop starting from the Phillips Rd Trailhead. Started north on the Goldmine, over the saddle and back on the Dynamite and Santan Trails, then took the Hedgehog, Stargazer and Moonlight Trails back to the parking lot. at the saddle on the Goldmine Trail, I went to the top of the peak there, which I had never done before. The other side of the Goldmine is pretty steep and loose in spots. From the saddle it looked like they might be building a new trail that heads north from the Goldmine Trail and goes around the mountain. or maybe it was just an old mining road.
At the Goldmine TH, I walked all the way to the road because when I did the MT here last April, the lot was closed so my GPS tracks didn't overlap. The Dynamite Trail has the best views in this park, I think. and it's a much gentler grade as it climbs up and around the mountain.
Almost chilly early on, then started to feel a little hot by the time I finished. Also a lot of people early on, which cleared out quite a bit towards the end. |
