| no partners | | | I did all the "official" numbered hikes seen on the big wilderness map at some trailheads. Cuff Button Trail #276 was one of the last ones I did. I found it on a nice cool day in April 2020. I enjoyed the stream and breeze and scenery so much that I went back and did it again a month later in May...an unseasonably cool, pleasant day. Both times, I did not see a single person at the ranch, although there were clear signs of maintenance and ranching. And I did not see a single vehicle or person on the roads (305, 287) to the trail. Not one. Both trips. All day. Just cattle. It took some doing to find the trailhead. I parked at an aging, fading sign with a right pointing arrow and the title "Horrell Creek Trailhead" and a left pointing arrow for "Cuff Button Trail 276". (On the second trip, I walked a ways to the right to try to figure out what the "Horrell Creek Trailhead" might be about, and I came up empty.) The signs will fall down and fade out soon unless someone intervenes. I took a lot of pictures to make sure I can find it again with or without the signs. As far as other trails, the West Pinto trail is the one that really sliced me up and caused little detours. I hiked all these trails before the fire, from 2017-2020. I might do them again when I have time if I have the juice and legs left. This Cuff Button Trail 276 is a kind of odd favorite of mine, probably because of the solitude and the sense of accomplishment of finding it. Also, as mentioned, I did catch it on two exquisite days. |
