 Even though it was a very overcast and rainy day, I was still able to get in some hiking with the rock-hounds from the Henderson Heritage Park Senior Center. After a brief visit to the Calico I site, our next stop was at the Sandstone Quarry Overlook, about 2.75 into the Scenic Loop Road. Because of we wanted to save more time for our planned stop at Willow Creek, we only spent about an hour here, but found it very interesting. So much so that we want to make it an all day stop for one of our future visits. There are more than a half dozen trails, ranging from 1.5 to 5 miles in length, that branch off from this parking location. Check out today’s stop here … Sandstone Quarry Overlook & Trails. Our final stop was at the Willow Springs Picnic Area where some people in the group hiked the Willow Falls and Petroglyph trails, while others took on the longer, more strenuous La Madre Spring trail. Check out the La Madre Spring trail here … La Madre (Springs) Dam. |
