| no partners | | I had not been to the Peralta TH in over 9 months, so I figured that I was overdue. The destination this time was Charlebois Spring. We did a lasso loop CCW from Bluff Spring>Dutchman>Terrapin>Bluff Spring.
The first part of the Bluff Spring Trail seemed to have more loose rock in it than before -- perhaps due to monsoons, but I am just guessing. I don't care too much for that trail.
Once we got to the Dutchman Trail, it was somewhat overgrown much of the way over to Charlebois. It wasn't all THAT bad, but you'd get snagged by some catclaw in a few places.
Charlebois Spring was a nice spot to have lunch. We sat by a nice pool of water. There was nobody else there, which was a bit surprising. I tried to find the master map but didn't have any luck. While looking for the map we came across a bobcat who was not camera shy.
I was reluctant to go back on the Terrapin Trail, fearing that it would be really overgrown. However, much to my surprise, there had been some recent trail maintenance on Terrapin and it was clear sailing. There was a little bit of grass that I brushed up against a time or 2, but there no catclaw to deal with. I'll dare say that the Terrapin Trail is the best trail in the Supes right now (of course that's not saying much...lol).
The weather was near perfect for hiking, and it was a nice day to be out in the Supes! |
