| no partners | | | It was Christina's birthday today and we hadn't hiked Loy Canyon Ruins for 3 years so that seemed to be a good pick for the occasion and she wholeheartedly agreed. Dan joined in for the festivities and off we went. Dirt road to the trailhead was in better shape than I remembered. We were the first car in the lot just past 9am. Loy Canyon trail is soft sand and easy to follow. Route up to the lower ruins was just as we remembered and perhaps a little more grown over. Some pictures were captured and we were off to the upper ruins. The upper ruins are mostly a crumbled pile of rocks, not much time spent here. Continued south from the upper ruins on the massively overgrown use trail out to the "fort" view. Did some exploring to see if there might be a way around the butte to the east side (which we had explored on a previous trip). Exploration tolerance was low today so I wrapped it up and returned the way we came. Found 5 more cars in the parking lot, but saw no one on the trail all day. Long long drive back down to the valley. So glad we got back to Loy Canyon Ruins! |
