| no partners | | | With a day off and with the recent clearing I headed up to the Ancha's to hike a nice little loop. Parked at Carr where it was 27 degrees and headed down Parker Creek. Once I got to the Rim Trail junction, I decided to take a side hike up to the top of the ridge of the Parker Creek Trail. The lower section has some grabby locust but nothing too horrible. Made it up to the ridge, took in the views, and headed back down. The trail is in great shape through here, the guys did a terrific job at cleaning, especially at Armor Corral Spring which I had to turn around at previously. After the small climb before Armor Corral, I did a small off-trail section to check out the rock window which was cool to see. Hiked around to the Moody junction and decided to take it east as I still had some time. Right off the bat, it's an overgrown brushy mess. It clears up here and there and gets better for a minute when the manzanitas come in but it goes to complete poop halfway through that and I decided I'd had enough. Took a break to refuel and made the blah climb up Moody as the clouds came in. Hiked 487 down to Carr as a light rain came in. Saw one tent off 487 on the way down, but no one else the entire day. This trail is currently in great shape and the views are excellent, If you have been thinking about hiking this now is the time. Thank you to AnchaGladtrailz for all of the hard work, it looks great! |
