| no partners | | Highway 67 was closed so we took some Forest Roads to FR421 and found the start of the Telephone Hill section just off of SR67. Came back on FR205 and found out that the section from FR421 to FR205 - the Crane Lake section - is still closed because of the damage from the Warm Fire in 2006 and the danger from falling trees. From the looks of things, I doubt that this stretch will open before May 2009 if by then. We saw lots of mule deer and a Merriam's turkey. This was bowhunting season for turkey in this unit.
We started at FR205. This is a very pleasant hike in the Ponderosa Pines. We hiked a little slower and were rewarded with a couple of sightings of resident mule deer and a Kaibab squirrel. After a couple of miles the trail follows an old unused two-track road. Not much elevation change. As we got within view of the 89A trailhead, we lost the trail a little but just kept going and found it again. |
