| no partners | | We needed to get to higher ground to get out of the heat, and Woods Canyon Lake is one of Deb's favorites in the state. So, we decided to go.
It was 78 degrees with a breezy to windy start, so we decided against the kayaks. A loop around the lake it was. We had the trail all to ourselves for the entire loop. There were some people fishing on the shore and in boats, but that was it. The weather was glorious.
After lunch at one of the rim vistas with views of the Billy fire in the Anchas, we headed down the paved FR300 to Bear Canyon Lake. You only have the three miles from FR300 to the lake remaining that is now dirt.
We just sampled the trail from the Merganser Trailhead to the lake. Deb had never been to Bear Canyon Lake. There was no one on the lake, and we only saw a single person fishing. The temperatures were still very comfortable in the low 80s. |
