| the hike |
We will be following Sycamore Creek for the first mile, crossing over
it several times, so there is a slight possibility of getting your feet wet.
Then we will take a right onto a sandy wash following an ATV trail.
On the very gradual climb through the wash, there will be
shade going through an area of trees, some neat rock formations and
finally a view of Bartlett Lake below. Reaching the Log Corral with the
view of Bartlett Lake will be our lunch spot before heading back.
See Map and Elevation.
We will be hiking from TH to Log Corral only – out and back.
