Whiskey Spring Trail #238

We hiked into the mouth of Trap Canyon and the surrounding area via the Dutchman Trail and the Whiskey Springs Trail out of the Peralta Trailhead. I wanted to look for a few old campsites and signs of rock piles. The trails were in excellent condition and the temps perfect. There were a handful of people out and we surprisingly finished to a less than half full parking lot. There were signs from the recent rain storm, however, in general the area is very dry and there is not much water out there. No wildflowers. I think I picked a nearly perfect day to make a trip back to one of my favorite areas. It was nice to see a some modest recovery from the recent fires going on. A lot of unburnt grass from last year still lingering around. Keep your fingers crossed.
