| no partners | | It has been a dream of mine for awhile to hike in my favorite wilderness with my dad (he lives in CO), but things just never worked out, finally got the opportunity yesterday. Arrived at the Miles TH a little before 8 to a cool 54 degrees. There were two tents setup near the ranch and a small group that was targeting shooting about a half mile away, which is ridiculous as it is about the worse place to target shoot. The two bear hunters we talked to at the TH, were not so happy about it as well. Started off through the meadow and down the West Pinto Trail. Trail is good initially through the unburned area but after awhile it was easier to stay in the creek. There are several patches of poison ivy right along side the trail prior to entering the burn area, so keep your eyes open. Rock Creek was bone dry as was West Pinto Creek initially, but as we made our way up the creek, there was some nice flow near West Spring and it continued off and on for a good portion of the way. Got a little bouldery as West Pinto makes it turn to the left, but nothing major. Made our way over to Oak Flat and relaxed for a bit before starting back. On the way back I showed my dad where the old corral once stood and we continued on. It was a little warm on the way back but overall temps were great. A good majority of the hike is in the shade so it was nearly perfect. besides the hunters at the TH, saw no one else the entire time. Perfect day for a hike and to show my dad a small section of the Supes. |
