| no partners | | A nice day to brave the Peralta Trailhead on a Sunday. There is a nice amount of water draining out of those mountains. We hiked up the Bluff Spring Trail and then continued down the Terrapin Trail for a few miles before turning around and returning the way we hiked in.
There were not very many cars at the trailhead when we arrived rather lately around 8:30 a.m. We passed a few people early on, but only saw a handful of hikers after the first few miles and not many on the return. We finished to a partially full lot on a Sunday, which was a nice relief. The Bluff Springs Trail is in pretty good shape. A trail crew was working on the trail near the beginning and doing a good job at cleaning up some of the erosion and use damage the early stretches of the trail are known for. The Terrapin Trail was a little soggy and overgrown, but I was happy to see one of my favorite sets of ephemeral falls out there flowing nicely. After a chilly break at the falls, we returned the way we hiked in. An excellent day in the western Superstitions on all fronts. |
