Oops, never filed a trip report on this hike of ours 2 weeks ago, but figure would do so belatedly.

The hike ended up being just Joe and I, but it was a beautiful day for a walk, and we always enjoy this hike as the trails are lesser used.    We also forgot what a beautiful view it is from the Scaur, and also another lookout before the flume.   The flume was a pleasant place to sit and have lunch, and then we continued onto the intersection with Livermore Trail/ Road, from where it was an easy 4.6 mile walk back.     We look forward to posting this again, maybe in September.
