| no partners | | I started this one myself very early at 6:35am. For the majority of the hike, I was completely in the shade and shadow of the mountain since the sun didn't over the mountain until almost 9am. This made for less of an opportunity to have good lighting for photos, but I was enjoying the cool weather. It felt like it was about 60 when I started, and there were plenty of breezes. I took the Kent Spring Trail up, which I thought was easier since it's essentially a service road. It becomes very steep in places, especially just before the end when you reach Kent Spring. There is a nice stream that runs alongside it for most of the way up.
I took the Bog Springs Trail on the way back down. By then the sun had started to hit the trail, but there was still plenty of shade provided by the trees, with a few views here and there of the mountains in the clearings. This trail is easy to follow, but very narrow in sections and also rocky. At the end of the hike, I took a spur trail up to the Amphitheatre TH and walked the road back to my starting point at the Madera TH. |
