We set up a shuttle leaving one vehicle at Angle Orchard and driving up to Ladybug Saddle.
We first bagged Ladybug Peak. There was a new register up there and about a hundred or so ladybugs.
Then down #329 we went-
Outstanding trail and one of the very few trails that was spared by the Frye Fire.
This trail has it all as you descend the 3500 ft down from the pines to the upper desert.
Beautiful forest, great overlooks, cool rock formations, lot's of blooming cactus and a good flowing creek at the bottom. Sky Island weather was chilly on top and hot at the bottom
A short hike up to Angle Orchard and drive back up to Ladybug Saddle ended our day together.
Addie drove back down and home as I stayed on the mountain for a bit more.
I had time for a quick sunset hike down to Cluff Dairy then a fire and pick me up coffee at RTM CG before heading home.
Great day on the mountain with my buddy, in fact ... top 3 favorite hike of this 2023!
