| partners | | Last minute trip to the Blue Primitive area with Lee. We cobbled together a plan during the week and met up Friday for the long 5 and half hour drive out to the Blue. Lee had not been in the southern section of the Blue so I offered to provide some ideas for the area.
Lee summed up the highlights in his triplog. Lots of hiking along the Blue River with many crossings and opportunities for a swim. Side canyons of Hannah Hot Springs and Little Blue Box narrows were great as they were last time I visited. Nice pools and scenery in this remote area of the Blue Primitive area. Our camp on the Blue River was also an excellent jumping off point for day hikes. The day hike on day 2 to Ladron Spring was a new area for me and did not disappoint. Probably one of the strongest springs I've seen flowing and sometimes cascading down the hill into the drainage for about .7 mile to the Blue River below. Very cool to check out this area for the first time and also was the only time during the weekend that we had an actual trail for hiking. On the way back checked out Baseline Trail # 310 which I hiked in the late 90's...the trail has not been maintained which we discovered is true for most of the trails in this area with the exception of the Cow Flat Trail.
Great weekend in the Blue...so much to see in this area and so little time. |
