| no partners | | Originally planned on doing something south of Hannagan, but a sign along the road said 191 was closed, and we didn't want to risk it (I think in retrospect that was probably put up because of the Bear fire even further south). So I decided to check out the other side of the mountains instead. Got to Pueblo Park around 10am and headed down the wash.
Pretty hot, but there was occasional shade, and the creek was intermittently flowing. Flow was pretty consistent starting at the Tige Canyon confluence. Here we decided to head up the Tige Canyon Trail, thinking there must have been a reason for it to exist. Tige Canyon Trail is not as well-maintained, but it's still pretty easy going and the path actually becomes better defined a mile and a half or so in. No water in this canyon right now, but there was a really nice narrow section.
Went back down, explored downstream a bit, then started the trip back, during which we were treated with afternoon cloud cover.
Pretty area, but pretty severely impacted by cattle grazing. |
