We spent the weekend camping up at Cache Creek Wilderness. We chose this location because of the beautiful wildflowers that pop up in the meadows at this time of year. There were indeed many gorgeous flowers sprinkled along the trail, complementing the beautiful wooded scenery.
We took the Redbud trail, which extends seven miles to Wilson Valley. At the end of the trail we found the perfect spot to set up camp directly next to Cache Creek-- which made Lucy very happy as she spent the evening in and out of the water. Cooper, of course, avoided the water at all costs. There were no other hikers out for the night, so we were able to enjoy the serene surroundings on our own.
The air temperature dropped dramatically during the night, even causing frost to cover the ground by morning, so we appreciated the warm body heat of our dogs, who shared the tent with us. In the morning we warmed up by the fire with some oatmeal and cocoa to revamp our bodies for the hike back.
All-in-all this was a great hike for a one night backpacking trip.
