Just six of us today on what started as a cold morning and became a lovely winter day. We went up the stairs by the Greathouse visitors center, up Chaparral Loop to the junction with Manhattan Canyon Tr.; then to the top of the canyon and the junction with the Black Diamond fire road. When the trail began to descend we retraced our steps and had our lunch on the rocks looking down the valley to the Stewartville area. We returned down the fire road to the Rose Hill Cemetery and then on to the cars. Part way down we encountered a large herd of sheep with just two shephers and two dogs to control them (which they did very well). It was excedingly dry! There was evidence of the lack of water in the reduced size of the shooting stars. But we did see some flowers and there were patches of green. About 3.75 miles.
