| partners | | A beautiful morning/day for a hike. Temps in the low 40's to start, 60's for highs with a nice breeze all day that helped drone out the whining.
Highline Trail #31
Heading CW from the still closed Hatchery, it was 7.5-ish miles of roller-coastering views to the rim. You pass over numerous smooth red-rock areas, through conifers and lush riparian areas as you approach the Pyle ranch area. We missed a turn to stay on the Highline at one point and followed a use trail next to Ellison Creek. Discovering our error, we went cross country to rejoin.
Myrtle Trail #30
Reaching this intersection, we noticed 3 people and machinery, performing trail maintenance just to the west on the Highline Trail. Hopefully they'll get to the east of Myrtle also.
There is still no sign at the intersection with the Highline.

The climb up the Myrtle trail gives you a chance to catch some great views and your breath.
It's a 1 mile, 1100' climb to the top, for the most part a good trail and a steady grade.
General Crook Trail #140 - Apache SitgreavesNF
We used the Crook to make our way over to Myrtle Point. There has been some very recent maintenance to the trail. Someone has flagged and has been doing a great job to bring it back. I'm curious as to who or what organization as well as what sections they are doing.
We stopped at Myrtle Lake for some lunch and were able to take in the views without the Memorial Day boat and water-skiing traffic. We also found Lost Lake.
Myrtle Point 7920
First time out to this point. We took FR300C in and an old overgrown, decommissioned logging road back out to Trail 300. A short break with good views.
Babe Haught Trail - Hatchery to Knoll Lake
We did some cross country to cut off some mileage to the Babe. The Babe is still its typically steep rocky drop back down to the TH.
Good times with the crew, squad, flock or whatever they're calling it now. |
