| no partners | | We hadn't been to the southeast part of Granite Basin Recreation area so we did a double loop using the trails in the area.
Williamson Valley TH Willow Willow Connector West Lake Chimbly Mint connector Mint Tin Trough TH.
Most of this area was closed due to the Doce fire but it reopened last Thursday. You encounter the edge of the Doce fire near the north end of Mint Wash trail and some areas where you see fire retardant residue.
Enjoyed the area and views - it reminded me a bit of the Payson trail system (PATS). |
