Hey folks! Did a short hike up Beus Canyon yesterday, thought I'd share a few photos. First time up Beus, just wanted to get a taste for it -- also didn't get started 'til nearly 2 o'clock -- so didn't have long to hike (only ended up being about 2 hours roundtrip... 'bout a fourth of the way/1000 vertical feet up the trail).
Anyway, was a beautiful day, little warm but not too terribly bad. Lots of folks out on the trail -- 46th Street trailhead was packed, and that was just folks that started out from that side of the mountain (ran into a group of 6 college kids that had started out from Snowbasin and hiked over the top... made me feel like an old man just thinkin' about it!). One family I ran into said they had seen a rattlesnake about a mile or so up, so that made me a bit nervous (never had a snake encounter of any kind on a trail yet, and I get startled easily... :lol8: ).
Anywhoo... I'll shut up & make with the photos... :popcorn:
