Bagby South

Where we parked on  the narrow 2209 spur at the Bagby south trailhead Bagby south trailhead Beginning of the south end of the Bagy trail - it was in a lot better shape than I expected. I think it gets a decent amount of foot traffic from campers at Elk Lake Interesting wet area a bit up the trail from the south end - Bagby Trail Some pretty aggressive brushing took place very recently on the southern Bagby trail Southern Bagby trtail - goes thru some rockslides with vine maple Southern Bagby trtail - goes thru some rockslides with vine maple More recent maintenance on the southern Bagby trtail Another wet area  near the south end of the Bagby trail Some interesting meadows on the south end of the Bagby trail Beginning of the big rockslide at the south end of the Bagby trail Junction with the trail up to Battle Ax on the Southern Bagby trrail Entering the Bull Complex burn area - Bagby trail Sign at junction of Whetsont Mtn and Bagby trail Beginning of Bagby trail past junction with Whetsone mountain - quite a bit brushier Heading down to Silver King Lake - it burned REALLY, REALLY hot in here even though it was on the edge of the burn Heasding down to Silver King Lake - it burned REALLY, REALLY hot in here even though it was on the edge of the burn - you can see Silver King Lake in the upper center Heasding down to Silver King Lake - it burned REALLY, REALLY hot in here even though it was on the edge of the burn Hard to see in the photo but there was trad undrneath all the fireweed and blowdown Heading up to Siliver King Lake - there wasn't much of a trail left in here One of the very large logs heading up to Silver King lake - it ws probably 4' in diameter Amazingly, the old outhouse/toilet at Silver Kind Lake survived Silver King Lake Forest on the west side of Silver King Lake Forest on the west side of Silver King Lake Kirk noticed something growing out of the top of a snag so I zoomed in and took a photo Kirk noticed something growing out of the top of a snag so I zoomed in and took a photo This looks like an old tree completely burned out A sad landscape heading backl up from Silver King Lake Pne of the many snags across the trail heading down into the basin below Silver King lake. Hard to see in the picture but there was decent tread in here - we were climbing back out of the basin below Siler King Lake It was amazing/sad how hot it burned in this basin Looking back to Silver King Lake- we had mostly attained the ridge at this points. This is the point where you exit the burn and get back into unburned trail (qlthough it was pretty bruwshy) Cool rockslide on the south end of the Bagby trail Looking up Battle Ax Creek from the Bagby trail View from a lookout along the Bagby trail
