Now where does the trail go?

Climbing this steep earthen hill to get to the trail, we disturbed this mound of little worms, each about an inch long.

Climbing up the steep hill. It's so dark here that the pictures are blurred from long exposure times and camera shake

We all made it to the Bay Tree Trail

The top of the Bay Tree Trail has this sign for those who want to go down it

We headed up part of Rogers Road that has been bypassed because a landslide took out the trail several years ago

The trail now works its way around the landslide, at least until the next heavy rain when it might join it's forefather at the bottom!

From the top of Rogers Road, we take Temescal Ridge FR to the Hub

Fireroad Thirty back towards the cars, just south of the Hub

Rather than following the fireroad back, we took Bent Arrow singletrack. The distance was about the same, but this trail is prettier than the fireroad

Bent Arrow has a few switchbacks at the west end
