| Comments: |
Apart from some mud on the lower portion of both trails, the loop was otherwise dry. Nice variety of wildflowers in bloom.
Spring spur is difficult to find (sort of opposite the fire warden's cabin) and follow. I cut out a little bit of brush and limbed a blowdown to make it slightly easier to follow, but it is still very obscure. I also wouldn't drink out of it unless it was well-filtered.
Beautiful sunny morning with a breeze and temperatures in the 50s. |
