| no partners | | We were looking for a shorter, less committing hike for our Sunday, so we did this nice little pleasant loop in the Mazzies today. Barnhardt to the Divide Trail, then north to Rock Creek Trail and then across Half Moon back to Barnhardt.
There was a ton of water flowing down Barnhardt and some nice trail work on the AZT for most of the hike to the falls at the North Fork, which were probably at about a medium flow. We took an extended break at the falls, did the usual pics and then made our way up stream to Horse Camp for another quick break. The portion of Rock Creek up to the ridge and the high point of the hike has been cleared and cleared rather well, which was nice. However, I might have forgot how steep that trail gets through there. The Rock Creek Trail got a little primitive during the early portion of the descent, but got pretty nice again, shortly after the waterfall. This was my second time hiking the Half Moon Trail, which is two times more than anyone should hike that trail. The trail was in good shape, but I think its hard to appreciate it at the end of a long day. |
