Davis Creek to Ford Canyon

Davis Creek to Ford Canyon

High on the excitement of feeling a little bit familiar with the Davis Creek trails, and having looked at the map a lot, I decided to explore further.  I went up towards Pretty Valley, but cut East up the hill on what I thought was going to be a trail.  It was not.  More scratches and lesson learned.  If it looks like it “might” be a trail…that’s about all it is – it “might” be a trail.  But it is not, with surety, a trail.  I dropped back down to the main trail, went through Pretty Valley and pushed all the way to the Bountiful Peak Trail, up that to the Ford Canyon Outlook.  Gorgeous.  It had rained a few days before, however, and all the of the long grass alongside the trails was wet.  This soaked my socks all the way through.  At the outlook I took them off and had to wring them out.  Well worth it though.  On the way back I dropped down to the creek, across to the BST and looped that back around to my car.   6 miles @ 17:47 min/mile, 2,002 ft. elevation.
