Catherine Creek Area Hike

8.5 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •

I thought we'd go east to avoid some of the rain, so we went to the Catherine Creek area. Unfortunately, it rained hard most of the day! Streams/creek weren't very high, but I'm sure that will change tomorrow. There were no people on the trail and we liked that very much. Saw a total of 8 deer in three separate groups and this was amazing. The last deer we saw had a damaged back leg and I don't think it will make it much longer. : ( We felt very bad that there was nothing we could do as it hobbled away from us, and this was very depressing. Our clothes were saturated and all gear will need to be dried before tomorrows hike.
