Hiking Dawson Butte on April 1, 2020


Ron and I took Baxter and drove to a trail called Dawson Butte.
It's only about a 5 mile loop, but it's pretty...
It's located in Douglas County.  My friend, Yvonne, volunteers with the Douglas County Trail system.  She told me their trails have to be accessible to hikers, bikers, and horses~


Of course, the trails are accessible to Baxter!  






The 'Stairway to Heaven' path is for horses.  There are jumps...I guess that's what you call it, for horses to jump over!  Not a recommended trail for hikers!  We just stayed on the Dawson Butte Trail.

Hiking with Ron is a bit different than with my hiking group.  He brings a full lunch...sandwich, chips, apple, cookies...and takes his time eating it.  I get antsy...Baxter wants part of it.
Dawson's Butte...I guess I forgot to take a picture of the actual butte. 
You can't hike up on it because that part of the park is private property.
It's still a nice, easy 5 mile loop!
