Road 7312 Recon - 6.7.2018
From Hwy 97 drive to the end of Ingalls Creek Road... the Ingalls Creek Trailhead is on the far right of the photo... the gated Road 7312 is on the far left.
|
Crossing Ingalls Creek at the parking area and heading up FS-7312.
|
After hiking 7312 for ~1 mile I found the first slide area.
|
After hiking for ~1.4 miles I found the second slide area... this one could easily be 500 feet wide... however, there is an obvious foot path leading through it.
|
Coming up out of the second slide area and getting back up on FS-7312.
|
After hiking 2.1 miles I have reached the washed out bridge that crosses Etienne Creek... however, a hiker would not have to worry about this because FS-7312 swings to the right here and heads up the Etienne Creek drainage... Hwy 97 is on the left.
|
Heading back across the large slide area as I head back to the car.
|
Entering the smaller slide area as I head back to the car.
|
Looking down on Hwy 97 from FS-7312 as I return to the car... the hike from Ingalls Creek Trailhead to the washed out bridge and back to the car was 4.2 miles... gaining~800 feet of elevation.
