Did a quick hike up to Hastings and Jones Peaks this morning via Bailey Canyon trail. Above the cabin ruins, the trail is a bit over grown with grasses and stuff - should die back during the summer I think. No bugs, skeeters, dinosaurs, etc.
The fire made it to within about 50 yards of Jones Peak.

Thanks for the report and pics. Bailey Canyon is one of my favorite short hikes and great for a trail run. But you didn't see any dinosaurs? Maybe you were distracted and didn't notice.

No liopleurodon, but I did see a rather annoyed unicorn named Charlie.
Seriously...where do you go hiking Tim? I'll try to avoid those areas

The second shot is deserving of serious consideration in the image contest. Love those blues.
