Ingalls Creek — Saturday, May. 25, 2024

First time hiking here and was a real treat!
Had a great 2 night backpack with my Scout Troop. Hiked to around mile 9 ish for camp. Day hiked to the start of the Mt Stuart climbing route and back on day 2. The section beyond mile 8 or so has quite a bit of blow down (but as of the writing of this report, some of this may have been improved by trail crews).
The WILDFLOWERS were the highlight. Absolutely beautiful.
There was mention of ticks but we didn’t see any when we inspected ourselves at the end.
The holiday weekend was busy on the trail.
Saw many dogs off leash, which was quite disappointing… this is the wilderness folks, not a dog park!
Overall a really great trail for our Scouts to get a 24 mile weekend hike in.
We loved it!
