Ashland Watershed – Lewis Loop

On November 8, 2023 we had a big turn out to hike in the Ashland Watershed. Since Bob is more familiar with the watershed, I had him lead the way.

We started up by the Crowson Reservoir on the Lower Red Queen trail. We worked our way around the trails and enjoyed the golden color of the leaves. We had some good views of Mount McLoughlin and Mount Ashland with the fresh covering of snow.

We enjoyed our lunch when we were near Coggins Saddle. Then we headed down Ashland Loop Road. When we returned to the trailhead I realized we had gone over 10 miles and had over 2200 feet of gain.

Some of us got together with Keeley and enjoyed refreshments at Caldera.
