Covid-19 pandemic hike #11
We set off for a brief morning hike at the Spain trailhead only to find the parking lot completely full. Clearly, it is Memorial Day weekend and people are eager to get outdoors on this splendid morning. So we drove to the next trailhead south, Embudito Canyon. My All Trails app told me it is possible to do a 4-mile loop, hiking at the higher elevation of the canyon and returning along the bottom canyon stream bed.
Little did we know that this hike is more of a scramble than a walk, especially along the stream bed on the return leg, requiring finding our way thru dense vegetation, muddy stream trails buzzing with insects, and scrambling around boulders.
Total distance: 2.8 miles (we took a shortcut.) Elevation: ~800 ft
