| partners | | I wanted to get out of the heat and hit a new area. Jason suggested Center Mountain via Reynold Creek Trail. I love the Sierra Ancha Wildereness, so I said "let's go!".
It was cool but humid as we started up the Reynolds Creek Trail. Jason gave me fair warning about the raspberry/acacia hazards along this trail and we hit the first big patch right after the crossing the creek. I got pretty ripped up and I had long sleeves on!
The trail was definitely rough and over-grown. We made it to the falls and it was running, but barely. Looks like they had some rains a few day before and it's now just pools emptying out from one another.
We made it to the Center Mountain Trail and started the steeper/rockier way up to the high point. The trail is kinda faint most of the way up. I am guessing this area doesn't get many visitors and that is perfect for me.
After we stopped at the high point for a little snack and rest, we started back down. The cool morning and cloud cover gave way to more sunny skies and higher temps. Jason saw an elk cow and we both saw a couple of deer along the way off the plateau.
Once we made it back to the Raspberry Gauntlet section, the clouds came back and the shadows of the higher points made it cooler.
I would love to see this area with running water and some fall colors. I will have to time my next visit with Mother Nature contributing.
Thanks for the invite Jason, it was a nice day in a great Wilderness Area. |
