The trail started off so clear and obvious... but it didn't stay that way. I did a lot of guessing and backtracking so the 6 mile hike turned out to be more like 7.
|
The trail ran near this river much of the time.
|
I enjoyed the layered rocks.
|
|
Can you see the rock slide? It lasted about 10 minutes, and made me glad that my side of the river had more vegetation!
|
River rocks.

This was the third river crossing and the first on which I got my shoes wet. Oh well. It was a warm day :-)

|
These little steps were not explained.
|
Two hours after I started hiking, I was this close to the dam that showed up on my map.
|
|
And here's the same dam, 40 minutes later, after I'd walked to it and picked up the trail back to my camper.
|
My relief at knowing I wasn't lost is probably visible here :-)
|
This sign greeted me at the end of my hike.

|
|
This plant is new to me.
|
Up close it looks like little berries.
|
|
|
Check out the edges: bugs and tears.
