Today, I went on a hike with my son Caleb. We went up to Chantry Flats, which is finally open. We got there around 10:45am, found a parking spot then hiked down around 11:00am. We made it into Hoegee's around 12:15. It was a 2 mile hike from Chantry Flats to Hoegee Campground.
The weather was beautiful in the canyon. It was a good 15 degrees cooler in the canyon than up on top at Chantry. We found a gold mine on the way in which I had never seen before. We were going to take Upper Winter Creek Trail on the way out but decided to hike back the way we came. We made it back to Chantry at 2:30. Overall, it was a very nice hike with Caleb. This was my first hike after coming down out of the Sierras. It was an uphill hike to the campground. We gained about 800 feet elevation in about a mile and a half.
Caleb is a great little hiker. This was his first hike into the woods. He had previously hiked to Echo Mt. with me.
