Hiking Gregory Canyon - Part 1 of 2

 

Occasionally, I (Brent) like to get away with the little men and find new trails to hike.  I figure the rockier the better for these guys, though that just makes them want to go off-trail and scale all the rocks all the more.  They have never been on this Gregory Canyon trail that I remember running several times with an old friend, Chris Langer, back in our younger years.

Of course, there were some immediate detours up the first big rock they could find.  Gavin usually instigates the spontaneous rock ascents with Gage following right behind.

Gage decided to take a rest, about half-way up.  The trail gets pretty steep and there isn't actually that much shade, but it is quite a fun trail.  My favorite part is about half-way up where you have to almost scramble up this short section that traverses an especially rocky section.

We did find some good wildlife this time, as this small herd of five to six deer were feasting on some grass next to the trail.  We sat and watched them for a while and then decided to continue on toward the top.
