Piney Creek Trail

Autumn at Piney Creek

The worst part of this hike was just "getting there". The road was packed gravel, and it was a "slow 6 miles" to get to the trail head. Once on the trail, it turned out to be an easy hike. The scenery was great, and about the only time I felt a little nervous was about 3 miles into the hike when we came upon an open meadow near the creek. We saw a sheep carcass (wool) and an elk skeleton, both which appeared to have been relatively new...after that we were just were more wary of the surrounding area.
