| partners | | | Annual trip down to the Galiruo Wilderness to check out the fall colors on Ash Creek. A large number of vehicles camped out a couple of miles before the TH, which is not surprising this time of year, due to hunting season. Spotted Chumley and chatted for a few before heading down to the full parking area, where we also met Karl and SlowandSteady. Andy and I were here almost a year ago to the day and the colors were perfect; however, this time the Oaks down low were still mostly green. As we made the turn west and started the climb to Upper Ash Creek Spring, the color finally appeared as the Maples were nearly at peak. Spent some time at the Aspen grove chatting with the group before climbing up 100 feet or so to overlook the colors below, while the others were headed up to Bassett Peak. Uneventful hike back to the TH, passing a couple of groups and a deer that did not want her picture taken. It was a long day, but the colors higher up made it worth it, and it was nice to meet fellow HAZers. |
