| no partners | | I needed a quick little hike to keep the insanity at bay. Even though the rain was still going, I decided to head out to the Goldfields.
The rain turned to sporadic sprinkles and stayed that way for most of the hike.
I wanted to head out to the cool erosion area at the end of this little trail. I really love this area. So interesting with all the amazing geological formations. There was some serious geology going down here at one time for sure.
The hike up and down was the usual awesome. I ran into a little Western Diamondback who was not happy to see me. I took a few pictures and let him or her be. When I reached the “end”, I almost decided to go in further, but I opted to do that another day and turned around.
On the way back, I opted to go up to the yellow tuff area south of Helmut Rock. Such a cool area with the views and the colors. I followed that little ridge to the Willow Springs connector trail and made it back to the TH.
I saw only 1 human whilst out, a guy trying to fly a drone at the trailhead. I see a crash (or crashes) in his future.
A nice and easy, but scenic afternoon well spent. |
