| no partners | | I finally made a return to the bridge. I was looking to push the knee a little without a ton of AEG, but wanted something more than a boring stroll in the valley. I decided on an out and back to where I remembered seeing flowing water the last time I was in this area. I was hoping for some wildflowers too, but they were not overly spectacular on the drive in, or during the hike.
The hike went pretty well. A little bit of a rocky, steep ascent to gain HK Mesa, but it was cruiser after that. There was a light flow where the trail crosses Sycamore Creek just before Dutchman Grave Spring, so we took our break there. I soaked my knee in the cool water for ten minutes, we let the dogs rest up and then we headed back the way we came.
We checked out some ruins near the bridge before leaving and then made the long bumpy trip back to Seven Springs. The last ten miles to the bridge is pretty rocky and miserable. |
