Worked out good since we would finish on that trail. Lots of people on the Douglas Spring Trail, about half heading to Bridal Wreath Falls. Good day to visit the falls, more water than I have ever seen before. There is a lower and upper falls, I usually only go to the lower and assumed this was the falls referred to as Bridal wreath but with the high flow the upper falls is probably what the falls are named for. We returned via the Three Tanks and Wildhorse Trails. Very few people on these.
Water everywhere, good flow in creeks along the Douglas, Bridal Wreath and Ernie Falls creek and the Three Tanks Creek. No issues crossing any of them. The three tanks along the trail, Aguila, mica and steel tank are dry and have been for years but the creek is running good. The earthen dam at the Aguila and Mica have been breached so they are not really tanks anymore. Steel tank or Goldfish tank wouldn't hold water due to holes. Temperatures were in the low 50's with intermittent sun, perfect day for hiking. |
