| no partners | | | Started around 10 AM. Warmed up to around roughly 80 degrees up higher and then the clouds and light to moderate rain dropped temps to upper 50s - low 60s. Saw a number of new pine trees growing along the trail down to about the 5300 ft level. Spooked a deer. Saw more squirrels than I have seen in years in the area. Could explain all the young new trees. A handful of mature Ponderosas and Fir trees here and there. I really enjoy the upper 2.5 miles of this trail with plenty of trees for shade for the dog. The first 2 miles are scenic but very exposed with little (a few larger Service Berry Shrubs for shade) to no shade and VERY steep in a few sections. Manzanita berries are starting to dry out and tasted sweet. Unripe/new berries are very bitter. Acorns were not bad, slightly bitter. Better if boiled. No fall colors just yet. |
