| partners | | Kelly and Denny wanted to break away from the South Mountain Senior Circuit and Boyce Thompson to enjoy some high country trees, water, and cool temperatures. After much consternation, we settled on these two.
We had a glorious 56-degree start from the Clover Creek Canyon trailhead at 6:40 am. We ran into nobody the entire hike. We took it to the point where the trail peters out a bit over 2 miles downstream. Birds, chipmunks, and squirrels were enjoying the morning, as well as Denny and Kelly.
Next, it was off to Pivot Rock for the short hike to the rock and then the spring. We started at the lower FR616 trailhead. The Forest Service has done a lot of work here to keep wheeled vehicles out of the beginning of this trail. The trail is a bit tight in spots, especially the initial turn upstream. No poison ivy was seen, but we had a minor gnat problem. We stopped at the rock and then the spring to enjoy even cooler temps.
It was good to get out and catch up with Kelly and Denny. |
