| no partners | | My initial plan as I drove down Peralta Road was to do a Robber Roost Loop from LGM TH, but plans changed and I just hiked up Carney Springs to the False Saddle.
A few vehicles in the LGM TH as I started off. There was a very nice coolness in the air as I started towards the Carney Springs junction.
I came across a couple of Wave Cavers and pointed them in the right direction and I started up the lovely Carney Springs Trail. I made it to the false saddle and took a bunch of pictures. I looked up toward the “actual” saddle and then towards Dacite Mesa and decide today was not the day for that loop.
Hiking up the steep sections was ok, but hiking down really stressed my newly repaired knee. I was really feeling it as it flattened out near the Wave Cave Expressway.
I came across a couple of lost groups along the LGM trail on the way back and gave them directions for Wave Cave.
Driving back, the usual circus was going on at the Carney Springs TH, over-flowing and along Peralta Road.
Only 4 miles, but a nice morning jaunt. My knee was sore all day afterwards, but a little ice and ibuprofen eased that.
Now that the weather has finally turned, it’s just about the official hiking season for the Supes. |
