Enchanted Valley

The road to Graves Creek campground (and the start of the Enchanted Valley trail) is closed about 4 and a half miles back. No one knew the condition, but we took our bikes (not even real mountain bikes, just hybrids) and easily made it to the deserted campground. There was some bouncing, and, for a bit, I got off my bike and walked, but generally it was easy. We saw lots of elk. No bears. Flowers starting to bloom. Oxylis everywhere. It was very strange to walk around a campground with absolutely no one there. We didn't have time to walk the trail to Pony Creek, because we started in the afternoon. But for anyone who wants to go explore without a million people around, throw your bike in the car and go!
