| partners | | We closed out October with a hike in Caprock Canyon along the North and South Prongs of the Little red River. We did this hike in a clockwise direction doing the uphill climb to Haynes Ridge first, Fern Cave then down the North Prong, returning on the South Prong. Good views over Caprock Canyon State Park from Haynes Ridge. The trails were all in god condition with no one on them except two park rangers who were looking for a horse that had run off after bucking its rider. The walks along the North and South Prongs with its red cliffs and layers of Gypsum and limestone were fascinating. On this trip the creeks were dry with an exception of a slow trickle at fern cave.
There were only a couple of cars at the park all day so it was fairly empty. The weather was in the low 60's but with a strong breeze especially on the ridge. Lots of buffalo, the herds appeared to have grown since I was here last. |
