Mo Supes. The weather was a little cooler so I decided on a moderate hike. Peralta trailead wasn't as busy as I expected. The start was warmer than last week at First Water but once getting in a mile it cooled down. The Bluff Spring trail is okay. Washed out a bit but easy enough to follow. The same for the Dutchman trail. Red Tanks trail and Whiskey Spring trail I'd say bring clippers or bushwack away. On Red Tanks trail you can hike the creek to avoid the mess. I made a detour up Trap Canyon to check the spring. Trap Spring is filled in with sand/silt so I wouldn't expect to find water there this year. Hiking up Trap Canyon was like a walk on the beach for me. Whiskey Spring trail gets a little better as you climb out toward the Dutchman trail. Barkley basin is still depressing to see so look up at the hills. I only passed 3 other hikers on the loop.
