Wednesday.  Out in it with Brigid.  Trinity Alps, 2012
No sleep. Get up and on the road by 6:10. Few stops and at trailhead by 1:20. Step onto trail at 1:45.

It's upper 90's but pack feels good. 90 minutes in getting rough primarily due to front squats the night before. Brigid is a gazelle in her Gregory Deva 60. We hit the Sinks by 4:00 and that's it. That's fine. Buggy camp. Creek walk for an hour looking for a good hole but no dice, water moving too fast and too steep. Rose looks good. Usually off and on backpacking doze.

Thursday
Hot. We climb out of the bugginess that is the Sinks and hit a good set of switch backs taking us up the east side of the canyon. Serrated ridges granite and pounding creek. Feel much better than yesterday even though had the usual crappy backpacking sleep. Trail turns into flat hanging canyon full on firs and ferns. Fairyland. Move through at a good clip. Lots of camp sites but a fair number of people as we were warned. Brigid and Rose alternate the lead; Brigid fairly trotting up the trail like the goat she is. Rose head high leading with her nose.


We stop at Boulder Creek Lake split at 3:30, guide said it was a good destination and it appears so. But buggy as hell.
We decide to take a little stroll at 5:30. Headed up Canyon Creek switchbacks to a waterfall and across another meadow. After a mile there is a granite wall ahead, follow the duck, swing over the top and Lower Canyon lake stretches out ahead, sawtooth ridges all around. At 8:00 we return and cook dinner in the dusk and settle down as the Mosquito's banquet for the night.

Friday
300 yards from the creek there is a rocky knoll with a flat campsite on top. Head up there with breakfast bag hoping the Mosquitos will be fewer. It's much better and sit with coffee and watch the sun come down the granite walls and up the canyon.


Brigid comes up and we relocate camp before heading up to Boulder Creek lakes.
That's a 1.5 mile straight up gut buster. The trail is overgrown and ee are pushing through Alder and Manzanita as we climb the uneven switchbacks. Rose is a trooper. 5:30 head up to creek for shower. Good to be clean, know it won't last.
Night brings clear sky; so many stars.

Saturday
We are bug eaten. Up to Upper Canyon Lake. Great spot. Hot lunch and doze. Can tell Brigid getting tired and being bitten to death. Tell her we can walk out tomorrow, four nights and five days enough. I do think a tent is in order, just to protect from bugs.


Sunday
We are going to walk out today.  Wake up, let her sleep.  Enjoy the reflection as the suns comes up the canyon and down from the ridges.


Stroll down goes fast, too fast.


By 8:00 we are at the Red Lion in Redding.  Fed, showered.  Rose is gimpy as hell, but as of this writing four days later she is fine.
