From the posting title, you might think is about some College course. Instead our last hike and 10th of this month, was along the East ART (Applegate Ridge Trail) on one of those sunny and windy Autumn days. It also put us over the 400 mile mark for the year -- a first ever for us.
We started at the main trailhead off Sterling Creek Road and since there are now mile markers along the trail, we hiked out to mile 3 and back for a beautiful 6 mile hike. Along the way we were treated to great views of the Applegate Valley while being surrounded by the Autumn colors of Oaks and high dry grasses, some as tall as us. The wind would come up every now and then providing us with a shower of leaves across the trail. Great hike with great Autumn beauty. Here are a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment. Hope you are getting out to enjoy Autumn too.

Love this trail!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely trail, with good tread and great views. The LovedOne hasn't done it yet. I'm thinking we'll do it one way (downhill!) with a shuttle. It would be nice to get the lower parking lot done so hikers can park off the highway.
