I did this one as a cool down from yesterday's hike. I like this trail. Very foresty. The first 2-1/2 miles were fields of fern. Though I saw only a tiny pool of water, the plant life is thriving here. Saw 1 deer, lots of chipmunks, and a pair of playful ravens who seemed to have made me their toy.

Both AZT signs suggest this trail to be 3.6 mi. My GeePuS agrees at 3.56. one way. If an actual, clean route is needed as an official one, here it be.

I caught some very early pics of the San Juan fire ( taken about the time it was first reported) and a few more within an hour that show its incredible acceleration.
