Jan 7 Hike up Hannahs Creek


Several weeks ago, I hiked alongside Walker Creek. It turned out tho be a great experience. I hoped to repeat the adventure by doing the same alongside Hannah's Creek. There was one big difference. Hannah's Creek has been explored and camped upon for years. Walker Creek has been in a remote and infrequently visited area.

After stopping at the Cooper Mountain Cemetery, we walked to the creek, passing this pile of rocks. Once at the creek, there was a large campsite with stick bench, torches and a dog line. 



This shelter was typical of what we found in various spots along the creek. Further upcreek, the terrain changed and camping was less desirable. 


Shortly thereafter the creek valley narrowed forcing us to climb high, in the vicinity of Bighams Graveyard. Beyond there it began threatened to rain and we gave up our exploration.
