| no partners | | Writing this on 8-26-2021 but did the hike Counterclockwise on July 29. I did this loop clockwise in August 2020. This was part of my prep hiking before my foray at Glacier Park. I was staying at a KOA cabin so after their rather lousy breakfast, I gathered my backpack and headed up the trail. I don't remember the hike that well now and actually had to watch my video to refresh my memory [ youtube video ] . This would be my first hike of two this day.
I headed out from the KOA, it was slightly humid and mostly sunny. I missed the turn to the north as I thot it was further along the trail as I headed west. Once I got on the trail heading north I enjoyed the high desert greenery including trees and Apache Plume bushes with occasional mixes of colorful flora. Some of the trees have such great shapes and trunks.
As I got a little higher I passed through the Fatman's part of the hike and enjoyed viewing various other rock formations. I think I only saw two other hikers or so on this back side as I made my way to the area where you eventually head south and up. When there was shade or the sun was filtered, it wasn't too bad out. I seem to recall I did pretty good with this little climb.
There were several lizards and I had my zoom engaged to try and finally get a photo of a lizard that wanted to be a youtube star. Most of the other lizards didn't want to be bothered. The views are nice as you get a little higher. The moon was still shining above me and I actually got a decent picture of it.
As I made my way down that south side I start encountering a few more hikers. As I recall, most said hello. This time as I headed east I took the actual KOA trail by the sign. There are a couple little trails in this area.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
