Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Little Cedar Mountain 6.21.16

It was good to see some of my friends out on this hike.  The length of this hike was about five miles and I would rate it as moderate.  There were six hikers out on this one.  It was an extremely warm day, in the low 90's, but luckily the hike was mostly under the forest canopy.  Everyone had a very good time, but I don't know if they went to lunch afterward or not.  If you would like to see a few pictures, click here or on the Cedar Mountain tab above.

Roaring Creek 6.18.16




The hike scheduled for the 18th was Roaring Creek. The two hikers today ( John & George) decided to change the hike to explore the northern end of the trail segment under construction by CTC between the Upper Leggett and Roaring Creek Trailheads (down to the planned McGill Creek bridge). The two hiked about 5 miles (approximately 3 miles on recently constructed trail, about 1.5 miles on trail to be constructed, and a little over 0.5 miles of bushwhacking (while  following blue ribbons) looking for a waterfall near the trail
During the hike we came across a three person CTC crew working on constructing the trail. While talking with the crew we learned they are working Tuesday thru Saturday each week and would welcome some volunteer helpers. If interested please contact the CTC to coordinate work time and location.
We had only one picture due to a nearly dead telephone/camera.
