| no partners | | I hiked Pete mountain via the Agua Caliente canyon trail.
I under estimated how long it would take to do this hike. The main reasons why it took longer than I expected was because (1) the Agua Caliente trail was hard to follow in so many areas especially in the 1/2 mile below the saddle North and West of the canyon, and (2) the trail going to the peak from the saddle was very overgrown and hard to follow, and (3) there was a hard rain after I got to the peak which made going down a bit slippery. About 1 mile up the trail, past a stream crossing, I saw a very interesting looking caterpillar that was gray and white with big round eyes that were black with a blue center. It was about 3 inches long and almost looked like a tiny armadillo. I have photos of this amazing creature if anyone is interested.
Going Northwest of Agua Caliente saddle there is a faint trail which is very overgrown and hard to follow. I lost that trail several times but ended up getting back on it each time also. When I was at the peak, I found a glass jar in a pile of rocks which held a registry. While looking around I found a walking stick bug and got some nice pics. About 10 minutes after I got to the peak there was a light rain which turned into a strong rain. I put my rain coat on and carefully started the descent. The water in the canyon was flowing very nicely. The trail probably crossed the stream 5 times. |
