| no partners | | Did a simple solo Shaw Butte loop + 5 mile long spur. It’s still warm but I’m getting out of shape because the weather won’t break. The temps were over 100 but fine and have not been to SB in a while. Light breeze and mostly clear sky as evening fell made it feel cooler. Barely broke a sweat. I overpacked extra water and carried most of it back. This was counterclockwise up the front and down the back from the 7th street visitor’s center. Saw quail and bunnies near the lot.
They have been doing a lot of work trimming and road building. Nothing remarkable to report but this does document some of the trail maintenance. It’s kind of like hiking a freeway now, but that’s fine. I’ve been going there off and on for over 40 years so I’ve seen many changes. Sunset was pretty normal and would need a lot more clouds to make it spectacular. Overall, I went a slow leisurely pace due to all the pics I was taking. From the lot I passed a total of 21 people all were on the front side of the mountain and one at the top. |
