Day 12 of Lupe’s 2nd Summer of 2021 Dingo Vacation to Wyoming!<\/em><\/p>\n

7:54 AM, 61\u00baF<\/em> – A gorgeous July morning!\u00a0 Last evening’s cloudburst had worked its magic.\u00a0 Clear, calm, and pleasantly cool at the new Kinky Creek trailhead.\u00a0 At least, that’s where SPHP thought Lupe was.<\/p>\n

From what SPHP had been able to gather online, the former Kinky Creek trailhead had been moved from it’s old location on Kinky Creek.\u00a0 Exactly where to had never been clear, but from the looks of the big parking area next to a gate leading into a private ranch, this was likely it, despite no sign of Kinky Creek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
At what SPHP presumed was the new Kinky Creek trailhead.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A tattered poster of the Gros Ventre Wilderness next to a trail leaving the W end of the parking lot added some degree of certainty to the “this is the new trailhead” theory, but that was it for signs of confirmation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Whether this was the new Kinky Creek trailhead or not didn’t concern the American Dingo in the least.\u00a0 She liked the looks of what was going on.\u00a0 An even bigger than normal adventure appeared to be in the works!<\/p>\n

We’re taking the tiny house, SPHP?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, indeedy, Looper!\u00a0 My best guess is that this new trailhead shaves about a mile or a bit more off the old one way distance of 11 or 12 miles, but that still leaves a mighty long round trip day hike.\u00a0 So, to heck with that!\u00a0 We’ll just take our time and enjoy the adventure.<\/em><\/p>\n

11 or 12 miles to where, SPHP?<\/em><\/p>\n

Doubletop Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,720 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, the highest mountain in the entire Gros Ventre Range, Loop!\u00a0 We won’t get there today, though.\u00a0 With any luck, we’ll camp at Brewster Lake this evening.\u00a0 Lugging all this gear, I’m sure I’ll be ready to stop by then.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sounded good to Lupe.\u00a0 She wasn’t going to be lugging anything!\u00a0 Easy day at the start of a fabulous Gros Ventre Wilderness adventure for her.\u00a0 SPHP strapped the heavier-than-normal pack on, and the American Dingo was on her way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Setting off for mighty Doubletop Peak!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All the vegetation was still sopping wet from last night’s downpour as the trail led through a lush green forest.\u00a0 Fortunately, the trail itself was merely damp and not a sea of mud.\u00a0 Starting out level, it soon began an easy, switchbacking descent.<\/p>\n

Partway down into a big valley where the confluences of Clear Creek, Kinky Creek, and the Gros Ventre River were, an opening in the forest permitted initial glimpses of the surrounding territory.\u00a0 The SE end of Sportman Ridge was in sight.\u00a0 Far to the SW, patches of snow clung to an enormous gray ridge.\u00a0 SPHP wasn’t completely sure yet, but the high point of that ridge might be Doubletop Peak.<\/p>\n

The trail soon bottomed out in forested lowlands, where Lupe came upon several signs.\u00a0 Happily, they confirmed that thus far she had been on the Kinky Creek trail, and that she was going the right way to get to the Dry Fork trail.\u00a0 However, there rather oddly did not appear to be any actual trail junction at these signs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Signs where the Kinky Creek trail leveled out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Kinky Creek trail headed W from here.\u00a0 Lupe soon came to another sign where the trail actually did fork.\u00a0 The Horse Crossing was straight ahead.\u00a0 No indication of where the trail angling toward the R went, but presumably, the Human Crossing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Horse Crossing sign.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What makes you say that, SPHP?\u00a0 Kind of presumptuous of you humans, isn’t it?\u00a0 Could go to the Dingo crossing, couldn’t it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, sweet Dingo!\u00a0 Not to worry!\u00a0 Everyone realizes that Dingoes cross wherever they please.\u00a0 No reason to limit them to this crossing or that.<\/em><\/p>\n

A nice recovery by SPHP!\u00a0 Lupe liked that explanation.<\/p>\n

Continuing straight, the American Dingo soon came to the dry wash of an exposed river bed.\u00a0 The Clear Creek Horse Crossing was just a little farther.\u00a0 When Lupe got there, SPHP didn’t like the looks of it.\u00a0 Clear Creek was several feet deep, and flowing swiftly over a bottom of rounded stones.\u00a0 Trying to cross it here didn’t look like much fun.<\/p>\n

Before we do anything drastic, Loopster, wha’dya say we have a look at the Human Crossing first?<\/em><\/p>\n

Returning to the Horse Crossing sign, the trail to the Human Crossing was taken next.\u00a0 The Human Crossing was somewhat downstream from the Horse Crossing.\u00a0 SPHP wasn’t really expecting it to be any better, but when Lupe arrived there, it clearly was.<\/p>\n

Despite the washed out remains of a bridge attached to the far bank, the Human Crossing was definitely the way to go!\u00a0 Clear Creek was still rocky and fast-flowing, but only 1.5 feet deep here.\u00a0 Neither SPHP nor Lupe had any problem fording it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A short distance beyond the Human Crossing, Lupe came to another trail junction with a sign that was both helpful, yet also confusing.\u00a0 The Clear Creek trail went L, the Gros Ventre River trail went R, and the Dry Fork trail that went to Brewster Laker was straight ahead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Trail junction sign beyond (W of) the Clear Creek Human Ford.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seemed simple enough, except for one thing.\u00a0 A trail went L, and a trail went R, but the Dry Fork trail, which supposedly went straight, didn’t seem to exist.<\/p>\n

SPHP knew Loop would need to climb the ridge directly beyond the sign, but was reluctant to simply take off into the forest.\u00a0 After all, this was supposed to be a trail hike, not an exhausting, trackless, bushwhacking expedition.<\/p>\n

The mystery was soon solved.\u00a0 Exploring to the R along the Gross Ventre River trail, Lupe came to another fork within 30 feet.\u00a0 No signage here, but the branch to the L angled straight toward the base of the ridge Lupe needed to take.<\/p>\n

Good job, Looper!\u00a0 Think you found Dry Fork trail No. 98!<\/em><\/p>\n

For a mile or more after leaving the big valley, Dry Fork trail No. 98 climbed through the forest, a little steeply at first, but not so bad after gaining some elevation.\u00a0 Nothing to see except trees, but at least the trail was in decent shape – easy to follow with no deadfall across it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Dry Fork trail eventually made it over to the S side of the huge ridge Lupe was climbing.\u00a0 Here there began to be some sagebrush clearings that provided views of the mountains.\u00a0 Early on, Lupe got glimpses of the Red Hills at the far upper end of the Clear Creek valley.<\/p>\n

As Looper continued higher, she began seeing more spectacular peaks beyond the Dry Fork drainage.\u00a0 Doubletop Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,720 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, Triangle Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,535 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> and Peak 11626<\/span><\/strong> were all in view.<\/p>\n

The trail still veered off into the forest now and then, but never strayed far from the S edge of the ridge.\u00a0 Doubletop Peak eventually disappeared from view, but Triangle Peak could still be seen from all the clearings.\u00a0 SPHP began watching for Trail No. 96, which should branch off to the R on its way N to the Gros Ventre River valley.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Temporarily back in the forest again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Lupe finally came to a place where the trail forked.\u00a0 Presumably, the R branch was Trail No. 96, but there was no signage here to confirm that notion.\u00a0 Loopster took a break in the shade while SPHP consulted the topo map<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
At the fork where what might have been Trail No. 96 angles off toward the R. Photo looks W.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Staying toward the L, the American Dingo carried on.\u00a0 Dry Fork trail No. 98 promptly entered a very large sagebrush clearing and began heading steadily downhill.\u00a0 When it made a switchback, descending even more rapidly, SPHP started to fret.<\/p>\n

Hang on a minute, Looper!\u00a0 This doesn’t seem right.<\/em><\/p>\n

Did we go the wrong way, SPHP?<\/em><\/p>\n

Not sure.\u00a0 Let me check the map again.<\/em><\/p>\n

The map wasn’t much help.\u00a0 Wasn’t really a confidence booster that this was the right way, either.\u00a0 It didn’t show Dry Fork trail No. 98 losing any significant amount of elevation in one chunk along in here.\u00a0 The trail ought to be holding its own, or maybe even gaining a little elevation, yet this trail appeared destined to descend clear down to Dry Fork Creek.<\/p>\n

If it did that, then looped back down the valley to the confluence with Clear Creek, Lupe would never get to Doubletop Peak!<\/p>\n

However, there didn’t seem to be much choice.\u00a0 Rather than set off on a bushwhack or return to the last fork, Lupe kept going.\u00a0 Fortunately, the trail soon began to level out, and turned up the valley, not down.<\/p>\n

The Carolina Dog was on a densely forested stretch again when suddenly there was a disturbance nearby.\u00a0 A great fluttering was followed by an annoyed clucking as a gray bird strutted back and forth along a small log just off the trail.\u00a0 Looked like some sort of grouse to SPHP.<\/p>\n

The grouse made no attempt to fly away, instead preferring to scold both Lupe and SPHP for the rude, unexpected intrusion.\u00a0 Maybe it had a nest nearby?\u00a0 After watching the bird strut its stuff for a couple of minutes, Looper moved on, leaving the grouse to its boldly defended seclusion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The fearless grouse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The trail eventually did approach Dry Fork Creek.\u00a0 However, as SPHP had already concluded it would by now, rather than following the stream down the valley, it continued upstream.\u00a0 Within 5 minutes, Lunch Lake was coming into view ahead.<\/p>\n

11:40 AM, Lunch Lake<\/em> – A small, sagebrush-dotted ridge overlooked Lunch Lake and the outlet where Dry Fork creek left it.\u00a0 Sunny and warm!\u00a0 Almost lunch time!\u00a0 Aptly-named, Lunch Lake was easily the most scenic spot so far along the Dry Fork trail.\u00a0 For 25 minutes, Lupe and SPHP relaxed and snacked while enjoying the splendid views.<\/p>\n

When it was time to move on, Lupe continued W on Dry Fork trail No. 98, passing the N shore of Lunch Lake.\u00a0 The Carolina Dog stopped now and then to admire the lake from this new perspective.\u00a0 However, Lunch Lake was eventually lost from view as the trail steadily gained elevation and took Lupe back into the forest.<\/p>\n

N of the trail, and way above it, was a long line of cliffs separated below by a steep grassy strip from a jumble of rough-looking talus.<\/p>\n

Dry Fork trail No. 98 followed the cliffs W before starting to angle SW away from them.\u00a0 A marshy region containing several large ponds was just ahead.\u00a0 The trail dipped almost to the ponds’ level, passing S of them as it skirted the marsh on firm, flat ground.<\/p>\n

The trail led to another pond with a mucky shoreline dotted with light gray rocks.\u00a0 Near this pond, even the trail got soft.\u00a0 However, Lupe was soon on firm pawing again as Dry Fork trail No. 98 curved W, and began climbing into a rockier region.<\/p>\n

After gaining 160 feet of elevation, the trail topped out and turned SW.\u00a0 A headwall could be seen ahead.\u00a0 Toward the S end, Dry Fork Creek rushed out of a narrow gash.\u00a0 The trail dipped as it headed that way, crossing a small stream where Loopster helped herself to a drink.<\/p>\n

As Lupe approached the headwall, Dry Fork trail No. 98 angled well N of the gash.\u00a0 The headwall turned out to not be a wall so much as merely a steepish forested slope.\u00a0 Nothing tricky about it, but progress was slow.\u00a0 Unaccustomed to the heavy pack, SPHP was running out of gas.<\/p>\n

Forest eventually gave way to a region of small rocks.\u00a0 The top of the slope wasn’t much farther.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The terrain leveled out.\u00a0 A line of trees was at the far end of a meadow.\u00a0 Upon reaching the trees, a short, steepish descent began.<\/p>\n

2:50 PM, Brewster Lake<\/em> – Dry Fork trail No. 98 switchbacked down to a long green meadow.\u00a0 This was it!\u00a0 Lupe had arrived!\u00a0 Two tents sat next to a line of spruce trees along Brewster Lake.\u00a0 A dog laying by one of the tents immediately raised the alarm when it saw a Carolina Dog coming down the trail.<\/p>\n

Turned out there were 3 dogs!\u00a0 While Lupe raced down to sniff with them, SPHP headed for the E end of the meadow.\u00a0 Loop soon returned to watch SPHP put up her tiny house for the first time this year.\u00a0 Naturally, as soon as it was set up, the American Dingo wanted to try it out.\u00a0 She seemed reasonably satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Oh, you know you’re on a great adventure when the tiny house gets set up!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The tiny house was roughly 200 feet from where Dry Fork Creek left the NE end of Brewster Lake.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP wandered down that way for a look around.<\/p>\n

What a fabulous setting!\u00a0 Even better than Lunch Lake!\u00a0 Brewster Lake nestled at the foot of towering Triangle Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,535 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 To the W, the same mountains Lupe had seen from Lunch Lake were much closer.<\/p>\n

Even Dry Fork Creek was more impressive here.\u00a0 A far cry from dry, it was a good-sized stream as it left Brewster Lake flowing NE through a channel leading to the gash where it would roar down the headwall.<\/p>\n

Mid-afternoon!\u00a0 Nice to have arrived at Brewster Lake before the whole day was shot.\u00a0 SPHP had grown thoroughly weary of the heavy pack and was glad to be rid of it.\u00a0 Lupe was ready to take it easy, too!\u00a0 After sharing a few chocolate coconut bars, an afternoon snooze fest ensued.<\/p>\n

At times, a dog could be heard yapping incessantly in the distance, but neither Lupe nor SPHP paid the least bit of attention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

6:22 PM, Brewster Lake –<\/em> At least somewhat refreshed on a beautiful July evening, Lupe stood next to the N shore of Brewster Lake.\u00a0 Way over at the far W end was the awesome, rocky territory she would be exploring tomorrow on her way to Doubletop Peak<\/span><\/a> (11,720 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hopes were high!\u00a0 Didn’t look bad at all from here!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

After returning to the tiny house, SPHP decided to pay a brief visit to the neighbors.\u00a0 All 3 dogs raised a ruckus as Lupe approached.<\/p>\n

Dale and Shannon were the only people the Carolina Dog had seen all day.\u00a0 They loved to fish, and had never even heard of Doubletop Peak.\u00a0 The spaniel and a dachshund were theirs.\u00a0 Porter, a terrier, belonged to a neighbor, but had been lucky enough to get invited along.<\/p>\n

Dale and Shannon were so friendly that the brief visit turned into an hour.\u00a0 They were from Jackson.\u00a0 Dale was retired, and had once been USFS manager of this sector of the Gros Ventre wilderness.\u00a0 Shannon was still working, but didn’t say at what.\u00a0 Both had interesting stories to tell, the sort of stories one hears in the mountains.<\/p>\n

Shannon had once climbed Wind River Peak<\/span><\/a> (13,192 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> with a full pack, then had to be emergency air-lifted out after suffering a torn ACL.\u00a0 Dale told stories of bear encounters, and one about a guy who had hiked into the mountains to some hot springs in winter, then nearly froze to death on the way back wearing only flip-flops and a towel when he couldn’t remember where he’d stashed his pack.<\/p>\n

But the story Lupe liked best came after Dale asked if their dachshund had disturbed anyone?\u00a0 The fishing had been good this afternoon.\u00a0 Dale had caught a several nice cutthroat trout.\u00a0 All had been released, except the biggest one, which had been fried up for dinner and shared with all the dogs.<\/p>\n

The problem was that their dachshund was a fishing fanatic!\u00a0 He always got so excited that he barked incessantly, and became frantic trying to bite the fish whenever Dale or Shannon tried to land one.<\/p>\n

The only bad part of this story was that Lupe hadn’t revived early enough from her nap to participate in the delicious fish fry!<\/p>\n
