| partners | | Easy loop today with Janelle and Bruce/Pete/Jonah/whateverhisnameisnow. Headed up Horton first. Saw a few groups of people, but mostly had the trail to ourselves. Some erosion from the fire sort of obscured one turn, but there’s a cairn if you’re paying attention. Took a break at the spring. Watched some barefoot, shirtless guys who were camped near the spring with their dogs and mules.
My first time on this re-routed section of Highline. Definitely not as steep. Noticeable fire damage, and I’m guessing a few spots/corners will see washouts if it ever rains again. Saw a few trail runners, and one guy who asked if we were the ones in the Tremor. Bruce confidently said No. I guess he’s never actually looked at my grey truck before. Saw the shirtless guys again as they rode past us and happily greeted Pete.
Derrick Trail is blah as usual. At least it’s all downhill. Warmer, but at least there was a breeze. We dropped Bruce back off at McDonalds in Payson, found a detour around the worst of the traffic, and had a smooth drive back to the Valley. Good hike with Janelle and Bruce! |
