I went on this hike after seeing a trip report noting that there were ripe berries. Well, this was the only berry I found - but it was good! So they are all picked over.

Trail is graveled in places and packed dirt in others. The bugs were buzzing but did not seem to bother much as long as we kept moving. Lots of birds flying about, saw mostly robins. If we stopped too long to listen we would hear only the mosquitoes buzzing in our ears.

A really beautiful area so close to home, nice for a monday night hike.

Not much water sliding down the rock--just enough to make a satisfying gurgle.  Further down the hill the creek is dry.

Flies swirled around us when stopped higher on the hill. We were motivated to keep moving.

Heard an owl, and plenty of birdsong.

The parking lot was nearing full at 9:15 am on Saturday. People come and go so you might find a spot later.
