| no partners | | I got into Pinedale early in the afternoon on the first, so there was time for a quick hike. I started from the Spring Creek Trailhead. A place I had never been to. I would end up camping in the area for four days, but only completed this small hike from the trailhead.
I actually started this hike twice. I parked at the lower and more obvious trailhead to start, but after a half mile of seeing that the trail was paralleling the road I had driven in on, I checked my book and realized I could have started a mile further up. I wasn’t worried about the walking, but knew I wanted to get to the views from the ridgeline and still had to find a campsite, get water, settle in, etc, so I turned around and restarted at the “upper” trailhead.
The ridgeline did prove to be the highlight of the short little hike and the views lived up to the hype. The rest of the hike was just a pleasant stroll through a nice forest. Spring Creek Park looked to be a bit of a dud from the trail and was fenced off for cattle. The trail was well maintained and easy to follow. |
