Red Lake

After cutting out a log on the 380 spur going to the Red Lake Trail New logs down right at the beginning of the Red Lake Trail - West End I guess this is part of the Timber Trail (for mountain bikers) - We saw these On the Lodgepole trail as well Interesting treatmet on the road that crosses  the powerlines on the Red Lake trail Road crossing the powerlines - The Red Lake trail takes off this road just pas where Thor is - you can barely see the flag marking the trail This is where the Red Lake Trail takes off from the un-named road Red Lake Trail crossing the powerline corridor Heading up the initial hill on the Red Lake trail Trail crosses this - I think this is the outflow from Averill Lake Trail crosses this - I think this is the outflow from Averill Lake One of the better areas of the Red Lake trail in the burn areas - this is heading up to Red Lake There was LOTS of this along the trail - Elk poop - or what I call milk duds Red Lake - I couldn't find the side trail down to the lake - it was all burned and I was trying to make time so I didn't explore too much Never saw this before - a flat spot above Red Lake Part of Averill Lake did not burn - this was approaching Averill Lake Averill Lake Averill Lake Sign says it all There is a "creek" that flows from lake to lake.  The trail crosses it a few times.  This is between Averill and Wall Lake I think Wall Lake Wall Lake Sign at Wall Lake Another sign at Wall Lake - this was on the east side of the lake Another crossing of the creek between the lakes - I guess this is the upper stretches of Cub Creek Sign at Sheep Lake where Potato Butte trail takes off to the north Cub Creek above Sheep Lake Another crossing of Cub Creek below Fork Lake Fork Lake sign - you couldn't really see Fork Lake from here Fork Lake From the junction with the Lodgepole trail, the trail heads uphill and is very rocky Un-named seasonal pond  - I think that might be Twin Peaks behind it This is another un-named seasonal pond - the trail goes right thru the pond this time of year This is another un-named seasonal pond - the trail goes right thru the pond this time of year - This is looking back from the trail - you can see the route better from this direction Some kind of aniimal bone on the trail (vertebrae?) Mt Jefferson hiding in the clouds Another un-named seasonal pond on the Red Lake trail We took a wrong turn here.  We kept going straight which was the Top Lake trail that heads back to the PCT (which we recently crossed) Top Lake Top Lake Sign This looked like a hunter kill.  There was a gut sack and the bones - when we came upon it, Thor was really interested.  There was some sort of big bird eating it.  The bird wasn't happy to be disturbed This is a new sign at the Timber Lake trail junction Another un-named seasonal pond on the Red Lake trail The trail crosses this - I went around and Thor went thru. I think this was the one that was up to his chest (8-10 inches deep) Red Lake Trailhead on 4220 road near Olallie Lake Olallie Butte, Olallie Resort and Olallie Lake from the 4220 road near the Red Lake trailhead Campsite at Averill Lake - I think this was where we camped with the Boy Scouts in 2011 Campsite at Averill Lake - I think this was where we camped with the Boy Scouts in 2011
