| partners | | | Andy wanted a hike with some water and views so we headed up to the Sierra Ancha's yesterday to the Reynolds Creek TH to hike up to Center Mountain. Started up the Reynolds Creek trail was good for a moment however about a quarter mile up the trail was a Raspberry jungle with no berries just thorns for blood-sucking. The brush got better the further up we went, however, there was a good-sized slide near the switchbacks filled with loose dirt, rocks, and trees which was not secure at all. Once past the waterfall, the brush got a little thick back in Reynolds Creek but the trail was still there and the brush was not thorny. Reached the Center Mountain/Reynolds Creek junction where we ran into another forest of Raspberries before starting the climb up Center Mountain. Initially, the climb was gradual then got rocky and the grade got steep before leveling out. Made it to the high point of Center Mountain, took a break, hydrated up, and had a couple of snacks. We briefly explored the high point area, spooking up a cow Elk and a couple of deer. The hike back down was hot (temp read 86 degrees) and dragged on; I had to stop several times to try and cool down in the shade. Made it back to the truck without seeing another person all day. The Ancha's never disappoint, thanks Andy for joining me. |
