Hitch 2: Dan Ridge Trail Opening


July 2-9


The area of the trail we were working on. 

The forest was completely burned last summer. 

Covered in soil (ashes)

View from the Dan Ridge trail. One positive aspect of the fire is that the view is less obstructed. 

Thimbleberry. The leaves make wonderful toilet paper.

Confluence of Colt Killed Creek and Colt Creek

Western larch

Morels that I found while looking for rocks to build a retaining wall. Morels flourish in areas that have been burned. 

Relaxing on the last day of the hitch with my lovely morel mushrooms and organic ginger ale. Life feels great when I take my hiking boots off and swim in the freezing water!
