Oxbow Loop Trail — Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2020

My wife has a bad hip and this was the perfect hike for her.  As we started out CCW around the trail, for about 1/4 mile, the trail seemed to be covered by large bugs or flies.  Closer inspection revealed them to be tiny frogs about 1/4 inch square, so numerous you had to watch where you were putting your feet.  Going CCW around the lake proved to be a good choice as the elevation loss was very gradual and the elevation regain at the end was shorter and steeper and would've been harder to handle going down with a bad hip.
