| partners | | This one was John's plan but I was at least reasonably intrigued as the last time I tried to do the upper loop I got flashed out by post-fire mud flow. Having never hiked out via the lower creek, I penciled that in for the day as well.
It was insanely cold and windy to start as we took 103 up the hill. Dropping down to the creek we dodged water all the way upstream to Cavalry -- save for one poor choice -- before cutting across to Boulder Canyon. Here we saw our only people on the day, a group of likely human traffickers in town for the game, though the girls did not blink twice when we prompted them to, so on we went.
We cut the corner taking the short stretch along Boulder before meeting up with La Barge again. Any attempts to stay dry ended here, but it was an absolutely great stretch of canyon, and one I'm sorry its taken so long for me to explore. I'll be back!
After a short break at the lake, we pieced together some use trails up to 103 and back to the car for the typically annoying 88 drive back to AJ. Great day! |
