North Shore - Bell's Trailhead to Cougar Overlook Short Route

A lone raccoon walked along the opposite side of the river at the water's edge. Once he found his trail, he went up the hill and disappeared.

Temp started at 72, ended at 69. Overcast and some light rain, northerly winds at times were strong but mostly non-existent.

Not much to say about this one - saw a fox on Javalina, a hummingbird and a raccoon at Shady Trail. Hike cut short by potential bad weather but I hiked along the river trails and came back almost the same way.
