| partners | | Linda and I both had targets in this area. I through together a loop that took in both our targets along with a plan B and C. Karl and Kathy joined us.
We started at the Garfias Wash TH to a brisk but comfortable morning. First off, to the narrows area of Hell Canyon to show Kathy. Linda's kids dead javelina was still in the cave. The cows have spoiled some of the beauty of this area
At Horse Spring we headed south towards the Hells Canyon high point of Peak 3651. This route was not the most direct or easiest way to gain the peak. We had to negotiate around the choked peak 3397 first. A more direct approach from the east or west would be prefered.
Great 360 views from up top. The original plan was to continue south. We opted for an steep easterly retreat to the Horse Creek Trail. There are probably better choices down but it worked out.
After some lunch it was time for our approach to 3392. Once again, slow going but quite doable. We took a break at the top in the shadow of Peak 3465. Our route down worked well to get back to the Horse Creek trail.
From here it was a road walk back to our start.
Good times and a nice challenging hike. Temps got a bit warm in the afternoon when the breezes laid down. I'm pretty sure Kathy won't hike with me again. |
