It's a perfect one-day run/soak, long enough to keep the day-hikers out, but short enough to leisurely enjoy during the short days of winter, with dinner at Nepenthe an added bonus. Its become a well-known destination, but just 10 years ago it was known only to locals. Great job as usual on the excellent photos and maps. I love Sykes.

Jack was back in his shed working on a bow when we arrived. He is a living legend! Since the Ventana was closed last year due to the fires, it has been nice to finally explore the region.

He was getting water from a spring, and we ended up chatting a bit before he invited me to his cabin for tea as well. What a nice guy, and quite the lifestyle he lives. I believe he made violin or cello bows there for a long time. I'm glad to hear he is still there and doing well. I have also thought about some runs in that area, and the route you took sounds like a fabulous one. The Arroyo Seco area is gorgeous. I hiked in there many years ago, and ended up swimming and hiking back down stream for most of the distance back to the parking area - a welcome relief from the heat of summer. There are some cool waterfalls on the opposite side of the river from the trail. Thanks for the trip report, Leor. Makes me think a lot more about getting back down there soon and doing some runs. Happy Thanksgiving. :-) Wow, I met Jack a couple years ago while hiking in Pine Valley.

The 11 mile long Arroyo Seco Gorge sounds particularly cool with swimming and scrambling. That one is for the summer, but Sykes trail run hopefully soon!

Good of you to squeeze one more in. You're ticking all the classics. No more of that here in Colorado; the hills above Boulder got 30" of snow since last night.
