| partners | | It is that time of year again to head up to where it is cool. This time Mount Lemmon to Lemmon Pools. Never get tired of this hike and I have been doing it now for over 60 years. The little sapling in the upper pools is now a full grown tree and the rocks around the pools and falls have shown a little wear. There was a first for me this time, the main pool was filled with sand so that you could walk across in just ankle deep water. The pool near the falls was still deep. With the lame monsoon the creek probably didn't flash this year to clean it out. The water was cool but not cold. I would say Lemmon creek had a light flow.
The trail after Marshall Saddle is not quite as worn in as it usually is and in spots a bit vague but still easy to follow, especially if you know where the trail is suppose to go. No one on the trail after Marshall Saddle until we were heading out, one person. Took the lower Aspen Trail back to our start point. The Aspen Trail definitely doesn't get the use that it use to before the fire but still in good condition. Steep going down, would highly recommend doing this loop in the CCW direction where the climb up Marshall Gulch is a little more gradual. Great hike for a summer day |
