These three Turkey Vultures were resting as they waited for the strong winds to abate.

Leg 1 - Playground parking area > Chaparral > Red Dam Loop > Chaparral > Isabel Harte 2.4 miles

Leg 2 - Isabel Harte > park road (SW) > Nature Trail > Horny Toad > Playground parking area 3.1 miles

Temp started at 50, ended at 60. STRONG NNE wind 20-25mph. Overcast but clearing at the end of the hike.

An easy hike along dry and easy to see trails. Strong winds and the somewhat cold temps, kept all the animals and all but a few birds hunkered down. Really nothing to report other than the hike was enjoyable!

NOTES

Water, shade, info kiosk, toilets and a bicycle repair station available at Playground parking area.
