6/19/14 Little River Trail

A beautiful day- sunny, lower 70's , and a breeze. We started from the Water District office where there is parking. From the lot you get this view of reservoir No. 1

Near start of trail

Kelley was very excited with all the water and was in many times: one time she got in at a place it was hard for her to get out of and she swam along side me until she found a place to get out.

Just before Perkins Rd. ( the only road on the trail ) was this tree I have photographed several times in winter. Today it was surrounded by wildflowers.

and a wildflower

We hiked to the point where the trail turns away from the water and heads toward the ball field at the other end and found a spot by the river to have lunch- at this point it really is a little river rather than reservoir.

On the way back Kelley continued to run ahead to get in the water - in addition to the river and reservoirs there are several small streams that cross the trail.

Near the end she had one last dip in the reservoir.

A nice hike on a beautiful day. Kelley missed out on people and dogs as we met no one on the trail. 3 hours
