| no partners | | | Decided to do an easier hike to one of my favorite places in the wilderness. The drive down Elephant Butte Road is Prius-friendly as always lol as I parked under Buzzards Roost. The first part of the hike is a walk in Milk Ranch Creek before following a SxS road up Whitlow Canyon. After roughly 2 miles you turn up into Coffee Flat Canyon before reaching the Coffee Flat Trail junction as you head into Randolph Canyon. I got to the Randolph/Fraser Canyon confluence where a majority of the red rock that used to be there is still covered in sand by the Woodbury Fire erosion. I continued up the canyon and made my way into Red Tanks Canyon where I climbed up on some rocks, enjoyed the view, and took a break. To my surprise, there were some nice-sized pools in Red Tanks Canyon, clear enough to filter if needed. After hanging out there for a bit I started back making a quick stop at Reed's Water. There were tons of cow tracks and cow patties, but I did not see any cattle or humans the entire time, which is just how I liked it. Just another awesome day in the Supes. |
