| partners | | Well. I am horrifically disappointed that my Jeep Grand Cherokee did not make it up Fr213. Sigh. And really, when does something cease to be called a road?? I'm bitter, I know. The hike itself was fine, but not sure the extra 6 miles RT on the road was worth it. Also not worth it... Wrecking the underside of my car!! Okay. Enough of that. Maybe...
The on trail parts were fine and easy to follow. I wasn't sure if this would be the case given that it is a less accessible Trailhead. Less accessible to Me, anyway!! (bitterness! ). Not less accessible to the off road golfcarts that made it to the actual Trailhead. One of whom had an absolutely palatial canvas tent set up right next to the Peter's trail sign. There were 2 total at the Trailhead when we arrived, and the one near the Hoolie Bacon sign was gone when we arrived back at the end of the loop. We saw no people the entire day which was glorious! 
It was an absolutely beautiful day to be outside! The views are superb on the Peter's trail. I loved the majestic views of the ridge off to the northwest. And after finishing the climb, the views to south were also stunning. There is no clear trail to cut over to the Hoolie Bacon, just a sea of catclaw to navigate!  It wasn't as bad by the Peters trail, but somewhere around halfway through the off trail section, it became catclaw central. That being said, it was still worth it to cut off the additional mileage for us. We were happy to follow the wash back up to Hoolie Bacon. After a snack, we headed up to the saddle, and then it was a steep down. The lichen-covered red ridges are a pretty sight headed back towards the Trailhead.
That last quarter of the loop is rather lackluster. It looks like a giant dirt plain in areas. Very non descript. Anyway, it was nice to be back on trail and making good time. We waited for stragglers at the actual Trailhead, and then set off on our 3 mile road walk back to the cars (grumble, grumble, bitter! ).
I was so excited to try a new trail in the supes!
So the question is... What type of vehicle does make it to the TH?? Clearly lots of people do (or try given the scrapes on the obstacle rocks as evidence).
No water to speak of, unsurprisingly. It certainly would be a sight after a wet spell! |
