Coal Creek Falls #COUGAR-C4

Hiked today with a good friend, Pandora. She let me pick the trail. I decided on Cougar Mt. Red Town Trailhead. We hiked 4 hours total and did a good loop To coal creek falls then far country lookout and falls (not much of a view or falls). Coal Creek was much better. Then headed back via De Leo Wall Trail, we skipped the viewpoint didn't look too grand. Hopefully we didn't miss something wonderful there. Then we stopped in the Meadow restoration area and saw some beautiful lillies that were flagged. Great day to be out, could not have asked for better weather. Not too many people on the trail. Well signed area with maps at the trailhead. Lots of history in this area, we even got a mini lesson from some guy on the trail about the coal miners settlement, very interesting. He was very proud of ""his area"" as he lived close by. We saw young, old, horses, dogs all enjoying the trails today. I will be back to explore more of this area.
