Cherry - November 2015

Butt crack rock had a cone on top of it!

Hike right before Cherry Creek bridge


We did a quick weekend trip to the cabin with no agenda, so we took a ride out to Cherry to see how low it was.  It is SUPER low - the lowest we have ever seen it.

On the way out there we stopped to look around and hiked a little.  First we tried a hike down the river from the Holm Powerhouse.  But it was like hiking on the edge of the world and I got enough of that in Washington, so we turned around.  Then we found a trail just before the Cherry Creek bridge.  We hiked about a mile up hill, saw some cool views and came back down.  Jim was feeling under the weather so we didn't push it.


We took a dirt road a few miles before Cherry and got up on a hill to get the shot of Cherry above.  Hops was also able to play in patches of snow.  Below you will see a pic of Lake Eleanor which is about a mile and a half hike from Cherry.  We were there in July and it was low - but now it looks almost empty.



This is Lake Eleanor right in the center of the pic - it looks almost completely dry.

This is where we would have launched the boat if we brought it
