| no partners | | Started at 11:30 with plans for lunch by a creek. The parking lot was full but found a spot on the road; I was skeptical if I’d find a private lunch place.
At Wildhorse Tank I was fortunate to be seated on a slab at what might have been the best seat out of town, with pools and falls galore and no company. A few hikers got to the creek crossing but nobody headed upstream.
One inspired fellow went downstream though, and after he left I decided to check that out, too.
Having the afternoon free I thought I might check out Ernie’s. Plenty of people on the trails but nobody at Ernie’s, so I had a pleasant time there too. Even waded out into the pool up to my knees. It was pretty cold.
On the way back I decided why not check out Bridal Wreath too. From the trail to Ernie’s it was visibly and audibly flowing nicely. Indeed it was; surprisingly there was no one there either. I wanted to get back to the car by 5 so I didn’t stay long.
Made it back to the car at 4:45, making a nice afternoon hike with some good distance.
Water pretty much everywhere. Saw one cardinal and lots of butterflies, but otherwise no wildlife. Spring wildflowers are starting. Lupines and primrose down low, dalea going bonkers a bit higher up. |
