This was a pleasant little hike out of Upper Buck Spring Canyon. We continued on from the cabin area along the Barbershop Trail to Coyote Spring, which we were hoping would be a nice turn around point and water source for Dot, but as it turns out there was as much mud as water and no pools of any substantive depth. Nevertheless, there was just enough water along the hike for Dot and just enough shade and wind to keep her cool throughout the day. We did not see anyone while hiking and in general the rim was kind of quiet for a Sunday. We drove in from the east and continued west for a full tour of the rim road. That paved section of the 300 sure is nice. The stretches of forest through here always impress me, such a nice assortment of conifers and older growth trees, along with some giant Gambel oaks and, or white oaks.
