BURKHART TRAIL~ DEVIL'S PUNCHBOWL AREA

A perfect fall day about 73 degrees with light breezes made for a great getaway hike.
The day was windy earlier and cleared out the views of the Antelope Valley nicely.
Quiet and less traveled ( we saw nobody ) than the more popular Devil's chair.




Not enough time to do the more than about 3mi in and then back, the trail is will maintained now as opposed to a washout here a few years back.  

A part of the Pacific Crest Trail with great views and well shaded this time of year, there is a moderate ascent from the parking lot to the trail head, but the trail itself is along the ridge line heading West with views North (6 mi rt).

The geology of this area is ever interesting and a feast for the eyes of those who would enjoy its visuals and natural history.
