| no partners | | I made one more quick trip to the Blue Range before school starts back up with Katie and a few of our friends. We were mainly there to camp and sight see, but we got some hiking in too.
I hiked the first mile and a half of the North Fork Trail the day before to make sure it was at least in reasonable shape. After determining the trail was definitely passable and not that bad, I decided we would take advantage of the fact we had multiple vehicles and do a North Fork-South Fork hike of the KP Creek drainage.
As mentioned earlier, the North Fork Trail was in decent shape and we made good time to the confluence and “falls.” We took an extended break at the falls and then headed up the south fork. The bottom 2 plus miles are getting overgrown and the deadfall is piling up down there, but the final mile to KP Cienega was great.
The North Fork proved to be a great option and I found the trail in better shape and it to be more enjoyable this time around vs my last time on the trail in 2014. In fact, I would recommend the North Fork Trail for trips to the confluence until the South Fork Trail is properly cleared. If you want to see the meadow and best parts of the South Fork Trail right now, just hike the first mile and turn around. There is good raspberry picking along these trails right now. |
