Took the family out for another Sunday morning adventure. Even before the hike, we noticed clouds at the top of Four Peaks and a dusting of snow from the night before. We went back to the trailhead at the end of Hackamore Road and headed north on the road we took last time to where I saw a trail that we didn't take. Just north of the trailhead along the road is a big crater, almost like an amphitheater that the ATVers and 4 wheelers obviously use.

We got to that trail, which continued north. I didn't know what this trail would do, so I didn't really have a full plan of how to proceed with the hike. It turns out the trail just continues north to FR1356 and ends there. We decided to head east on 1356, and then take 3512 south back to the car. This gave us a loop of about 5.5 miles.

the scenery along 1356 was really great. Three Lesser Peaks is very prominent and at times you can get peeks to the northeast. Saw a few ATVers, which were other families spending their Sunday morning on the roads. Finished up making decent time. The skies were hazy at the start, but everything soon cleared up and made for some really great scenery.
