Me & Tyler set up a shuttle leaving my truck at Angle Orchard and driving up to Ladybug Saddle. At the TH we had 2 does come out of the forest and walk right up within 10 yards of us before we were even on the trail, a nice start to the trip! First hiked up to Ladybug Peak for the view before heading back down and getting on the actual trail. The hike down through the forest to the Turkey Flat saddle was as nice as always, but a little risky at some spots due to the snow. From the saddle on was all new trail to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as the upper half. The new views of Veach Canyon & Ridge were awesome as we rounded the mountain back to the north and descended down into Jacobson Canyon. Spent a little rest time at Jacobson creek before hiking out and to my truck.
This trail is in excellent shape and has not been damaged by fire & the bark beetle like so many of the Pinaleno trails are! |
