| no partners | | | All year I had been looking forward to a repeat of last September's fondly remembered Coal Creek hike, with its flowing creek, and wildflowers everywhere. Today there were some flowers, but the creek was not flowing. It did have a number of small pools, though. With temps around 70 and a few splashes of fall color, I couldn't complain. The aspens were still green, but ash trees and poison ivy were turning gold. I hiked to Coal Creek Tank where I turned around, with a setting sun filtering through the ponderosas. Squirrels chattered excitedly and ran amok, while the crunch of rhyolite gravel beneath my boots stirred an otherwise quiet canyon. Another evening well spent! |
