| partners | | Got started around 0800 from the 260 trailhead. West on Highline. Easy hiking, nice shade from the trees.
Quick snack break before heading up Drew. I like Drew trail, generally good footing, and only a few steep portions. We each took Drew at our own pace, regrouping at the top.
Meandered east at the top, heading for a drainage that would take us to the nw corner of Woods Canyon Lake. Easy, and pretty, hiking along here. Bruce swears there was snow here just two weeks ago, but it’s gone now.
At the lake, we followed the trail east around the north side. Stopped for lunch on some large rocks while we watched the fishermen below. After that, we skirted around the eagle nesting closure, while getting pics of one eagle in a tree.
At the dam, we headed down Woods Canyon. Some water to negotiate, and some deadfall to dodge, but feet stayed dry and the canyon was quite fun.
Quick hike up out of the canyon and over towards Military Sinkhole trail, which had the least memorable sinkhole of the hike—the two we had passed earlier were more picture-worthy.
Down Military Sinkhole trail. The upper part followed an old roadbed and was easy hiking, although a little drab on the scenery. The lower half was much prettier, being in the shade and trees.
Great loop, nice weather, great company and conversation, and I was able to make it home just in time to shower and get my daughter to judo practice, so the timing was perfect. |
