The beaver dams and meadows along the right fork of The Right Fork of Tea Creek Trail were reminiscent of Laurel Fork Trail

Next we went nearly to the Highland Scenic Highway and continued up the Tea Creek Mountain Trail which was rocky and had a few overlooks.

After going down the North Face of Tea Creek trail and some swimming and baking pepperoni rolls in the fire and some wine and other fun . we spent the next day just hiking up and down the creek and exploring the water since it was so hot.

Very nice HD,


So, how many litres of wine can you carry when ultralight backpacking? kidneys should be flushed out.

Thats a really nice area. Reminds me of a place I hiked a few years ago. The trail went up along a small creek it was really nice hike.
