Head Waters of Deer Creek

This Tuesday venture took us back to Deer creek, which I was super excited about. It was drizzling and wet the entire time, but it wasn't enough to deter us from going, and it really wasn't so bad. It's just mud, haha!

A little more of a drive than the first Deer creek hike, but really well worth it: the trail was a little more complicated, but nothing we'd call difficult. The rain was mild, and it made the views really quiet beautiful, however, I suspect it'd be beautiful no matter what the conditions were out here.

 

The trail varied from mud, to clay, to rocky slip and slides (see above), but was totally manageable the whole time. We also crossed over Deer creek a couple times, and wisely marked our turning points, because it was a bit overgrown and easily lost in the shuffle. Most of the trail was obvious though.

There are lots of camping spots out here, which are tempting too. This place has fun written all over it, and I'd like to go back here in a different season to see what it's like clear. Or in snow. Or whenever. 

 

Also, there were deer. :)
