| no partners | | | Day off so what else would I do but hike. After a tough elevation hike Sunday, I opted for an easier one so I returned to a favorite place of mine. Headed out to Queen Valley and drove down the ever so smooth Milk Ranch Road and parked underneath Buzzards Roost. The first mile and a half is a walk on an old road until you get to the Whitlow Canyon junction, then it's another half mile to Randolph Canyon where I hopped on the Coffee Flat Trail. This section of Randolph Canyon has recovered nicely from the fire. Ton's of Cottonwoods line the creek, but unfortunately the buffle grass has also taken over and turned parts of it into a savannah. Passed through the wilderness boundary gate and made it to the Fraser/Randolph Canyon confluence, which is a favorite of mine. It has definately lost a bit of it's luster with all of the sand from the fire covering alot of the red rocks but it's still a special place. Hung out there for a bit and started the hike back making a quick stop of Reed's water. A nice, relaxing hike in a beautiful part of the western Superstitions, it can't get much better then that. |
