| no partners | | After a full day of fishing on Saturday, I was ready to get back on the trail today and decided to add another little piece of the Highline Trail to my covered map. I considered doing a loop here with one direction on top of the Rim and the other on the Highline, but when I got to the Hatchery Trailhead this morning I looked up at the Rim and decided it was going to be an out and back.
The Horton Creek trailhead lot was filling up fast when I drove past but there were just two cars at the Hatchery Trailhead. I went up to visit the Hatchery before gearing up and heading off. I made good time as I went, pausing just a couple times for photos and reached Horton Spring to find just a handful of people there.
I took a quick break and a few pictures then headed back the way I came. Apart from the people hanging out at the spring, I passed only one pair of hikers the entire out and back on the Highline. I was surprised to see that this route actually has a bit more AEG than the Horton Springs trail, and that was a good trade off for a nearly empty trail. |
