Write Up:
It was a good day to get out of the city to enjoy the beauty of nature, moderate exercise and good companionship in the hills of Jumpingpound. Sunny aspen hillsides alternated with shady gullies. Yet the hills were never too long or too steep. Moose Mountain, still covered in snow, dominated the landscape to the south. After the trail crossed the highway to the south we made a detour to Pine Grove day use area for lunch. We explored a little the area below where Bryant Creek flows into Jumpingpound Creek. Coming down the embankment on ancient stairs, we crossed Bryant Creek on stepping stones to a wide side channel of Jumpingpound Creek and admired the brilliant green water full of algae. After lunch we looped back above Jumpingpound Creek observing the devastating power of the flood of 2013 and the more recent November killer wind storm. Yet all the uprooted and fallen trees were cleared from the trail by the bikers. No snow or ice either, just some mud here and there. Peter Minarik
