This trail offers several options once you get back into it about a mile or more with the routes on the maps and not so formal routes created by mountain bikers along the front of the ridge line to your left as you go in on #34, the Porcupine Creek Trail. Almost 2 mls. in you can split to the right on Porcupine Meadows trail which I did in previous years and it offers some great views across the valley of Lone Peak and the southern edge of the Spanish Peaks along a relatively moderate hike.
A few miles into #34 your hiking mostly in forest however it opens often with views of mountains and the beautiful Porcupine Creek on your right as you go in.
These pictures are of some of the animals we did see along the walk that day. You may need to click on the photo to enlarge them for a clearer view of the mule deer and squirrel.
And, if we had seen what left this print I hope we would have had been so far away you'd have to take our word for it!
