Seven Bridges Trail 5/24/14

The morning after the first flash flood warning  for the season related to the Waldo Canyon burn scar, we headed up into North Cheyenne Canyon and followed the trail up next to North Cheyenne Creek past the last bridge, then we went to the other side of tunnel 3 on Gold Camp Rd. heading southwest for a bit.  Total distance about 8 miles (runtotal - 67 miles).
