Four of us hiked a bit of Fish Creek Canyon on Friday morning. I think we made it about a mile up canyon before being turned back by bees.

It wasn't clear to us whether we were hearing buzzing from a nearby hive or if there were simply bees in some flowering trees. A hive could be seriously dangerous, but bees looking for pollen in trees, not so much. In any case, we decided to turn back.

Even so, the part we hiked was both scenic and fun. It ended up being warmer than any of us expected; we definitely came over-dressed.

We were able to do it without getting our feet too wet. The part we did seemed like 1A to me, though I can see how it might be 1B or possibly even C if there's more water.
