| no partners | | | Wanted to explore a different part of WCC and decided to check out the Calloway trail. We drove in from Toms Creek Road off the 260. The truck we were in didn’t have 4WD so we only made it a mile or so down the road before deciding to just park and walk the rest of the way. It was a short hike to the campsite anyway so was nice to get the extra miles in. Once we got down into the canyon we went left/west and found a spot to camp about 50 yards down or so. Luckily no one was there because we hiked another ~2 miles downstream (without our packs) and only saw one tiny little campsite. The water was nice and refreshing, we walked in it most of the way. Only one spot was kind of deep, about waist high. The campsite was great! Hike back out was a good challenge, that trail getting to the top of the canyon is steep! Great little weekend overnight though. |

It wouldn't have been too difficult with just a day pack on...but it's a different story with a full on pack with overnight gear. I eventually made my way up out of the canyon and found my way over to the Dogie trail. 
over to the Casner trail. The hike up Casner Mountain was a beast! Especially after already having hike down and back out of the canyon. I slowly made my way up Casner (with a few breaks to rest!) and up and down to where the Taylor Cabin trail connects. The hike along Casner was beautiful with some great views on both sides. Taylor cabin trail was quite pretty - starting in some pines and then winding down a narrowish canyon eventually getting back down into Sycamore Canyon. I stopped for a few to enjoy the scenery at the Sycamore Creek/Taylor Cabin Trail junction and filtered some water. Then I made my way down the canyon and to Taylor Cabin for the night. I was the only one there and it was quite peaceful to be out there all alone. The following day I got up and made my way back to the car following the Sycamore Basin trail. This was one of my favorite hikes - very pretty!
