| no partners | | Early morning hike in the Rimrock area. Wanted something close and short and there were some use trails in the system that I wanted to follow. Got to the Glenforest TH around 7am. Took the Cedar Knoll into the Sunset Loop and then followed the southern branch of the Sunset. Took that in about .3 miles to get to the use trail that takes off to the north. It crosses the northern arm of the Sunset and then proceeds to descend from a rocky bluff. Up until the descent, the trail had been as smooth as any of the official trails. The descent was a bit rocky and badly eroded in spots. Once it leveled out it returned to a nice smooth trail. The trail junctures with where the Golden Gulch Trail starts. Took the Golden Gulch back up to the plateau, connected to the Bull Pasture and then followed a forest road back to the TH.
Easy hike. Nothing great about this system except access. The Golden Gulch is probably the most unique of the trails. Chilly hike. Temps in the 40’s. Luckily, no wind today. Encountered 2 hikers. Wildlife included a rabbit and 3 deer. |
