#dayhike — Public Fediverse posts

They call it the "green Trinities", but it's the Salmon Mountains and here's a few lakes and a peak on a short day hike among them.

Taking on exploring a whole trail system so it can go on the map! It's not a very big one and I'd not been there and it made a good looping day hike past a bunch of lakes, so there might have been other motivations.

Here's the easy way to get up Hayfork Bally, if you don't want the 8.5 mile lesser maintained trail and Jeep road route:

More of the grandeur of erosive forces in the Monte Cristo Range, but this time with sunlight!

A hike to see a striking, but rather short, peak. Then on to a taller, but not so striking, peak. The geology of the Esmeralda Formation (I think) dominates interesting patches along the way.

Visiting the 4th, highest, and only still active fire lookout on South Fork Mountain:

The third in a short series of visits to all the lookouts on South Fork Mountain, one of North America's longest ridge lines. I just walked up the trail as near as I could. Half of it was still there. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/pickett-peak-lookout.html

I saw only 6 people & 4 dogs on #hiking trails in the morning.
