| partners | | Seeking another mid-week trip to the Rim for cooler temps, and today was just right @ 72-82°F.
Only after the hike last week did I realize we had covered that ground a few times before. So today I was looking to cover totally new ground, and with as much above the Rim that we have NOT covered, the biggest task was narrowing down the options. Once I chose where to start it was a matter of laying out a lasso loop which would hit a number of different trails/roads with a distance in the 7-8 mile range, which is what I've grown most comfortable with.
Nothing super special about this hike... it's a hike in the pines at 7500' of elevation.
We started heading North on Aspen Trail, onto Fern Gully, took left at Carr Lake Trail, then onto FR 9350 for rim views and back to the car.
Kind of weird... I only recalled one Aspen tree while on the Aspen Trail, and almost NO ferns along Fern Gully. Oh yeah, there was one area chock full of ferns on Aspen Trail well before reaching Fern Gully. Go figure!
Overall a nice 4 hour hike coupled with a 4 hour round-trip drive... home in time for Tracey to catch up on yard work. |
