Last week Bill, Guy and myself checked out the Alder Creek trail that Kristen and some volunteers restored. We checked it out after the rain last Tuesday. I knew it was going to be a spectacular day as the clouds were putting on a show all along the ACF. The weather was perfect! We all really enjoyed this trail. It was so beautiful. The yuccas were nicely trimmed. Rocks were used to guide hikers along the path and the trail itself was so smooth. Overall, the crew did an exceptional job on this trail. To add, the views all around were gorgeous. We discovered some interesting things while exploring further.
STATS: 10 miles
lots of shade along the trail.

I found this huge heart rock.

I spotted this with my x-ray vision. A deer skull waaaaayyyy across the canyon. The guys didnt believe me at first but then Guy confirmed it with his binoculars and my excellent phone camera got a good close up.
The deer also enjoyed the trail.
