| no partners | | | With the day off yesterday I packed up the 4Runner Sunday afternoon and headed out to the Blue Range Primitive Area. I've been wanting to hike in the Blue Range for awhile now but with it being a 5 hour drive it's tough to get over there. Got to the Bill Bonanza TH about 8:30 Sunday night, setup the air matress in the 4Runner and slept at the TH. This is an awesome trail through the pines with just a bit of elevation coming out of the creek. The Cow Canyon fire was in the area last year, however a good amount of the pines were okay down low, a bit worse up on top. Hiked over to Hinkle Spring and the corral, got followed by some pissed off cows and started back out. About a mile and a half from the TH I heard the first boom of thunder so I picked up my pace and fortunately nothing came my way. It was a little humid but not to horrible with temps in the low 70's. Came across tons of elk including a group of about 30 of them and almost hit a turkey on the way out. This is a beautiful area and I will definately be back to the Blue. |
