Scott Lake and I (Kathleen) scouted the Fourth of July Canyon trail connecting to the Cerro Blanco trail and Forest Road 55, about a 5 mile loop this past Tues, Sept 20. I will be sending out a detailed description of the hike this evening. Attached is a photo of one of the very few Bigtooth maples that have turned red. Also, a photo of the view near the crest. Photos complements of Scott.
