| no partners | | I spent a few days camping and hiking in and around the Blue Range and the Bear Wallow Wilderness. I hiked Reno Trail on Monday morning.
The trail was its usual pleasant stroll with only a few easy to step over downed logs along the way. Although, one very large downed tree is making a mess of the trail in one spot. I continued down The Bear Wallow Trail after reaching the end of the Reno Trail. I was a little perplexed to not see trickling water when I reached Bear Wallow Creek. In fact, It took an additional half mile or so of hiking before the creek started flowing. I feel like this is the driest I have seen the creek, as I remember hitting water at the intersection of Reno and Bear Wallow Trail on everyone of my trips down this trail. I will see if I can find an old pic to verify and to make sure I am not misremembering. Nevertheless, Bear Wallow Trail was in great shape for the short duration of it that we hiked. We turned around at the confluence with the South Fork. The poison ivy is already over the knees and thriving per usual along the Bear Wallow Trail.
We returned the way we hiked in. I came back around sunset and trimmed some modest growth locust that was creeping in on the trail and trailhead near the beginning. |
