| partners | | We set out on split plans with two headed for a shorter day and three of us looking to do a big loop. Turns out the folks at the CC visitor center literally couldn't tell you where a trailhead is, never mind any trail conditions. This left us a little bit unsure of our loop options. 14 miles or 16 with a shuttle?
Turns out that about 4 miles in we realized that it's sort of warm here in May, and after yesterday's hike we were totally drained. We decided to bail on the big loop and head back to look for something cooler and higher up for the afternoon.
Then the rest of the group showed up and we depleted all our beers and snacks sitting next to, and maybe in, the creek. It was nice in the shade, and heading back down canyon was enjoyable since afternoon freed the place from the grip of the trogonistas.
I still need to take this one all the way to the crest, but I'll wait for a cooler season to make check these off the list. |
