Easy hike along easy to see and traverse trails.  More burned areas along Roadrunner Loop (Leg 3) than on the other two legs.  Once again, not much animal activity - spotted three deer on the way in and one deer on the trail.  A Loggerhead Shrike and a small flock of White Crowned Sparrows (photo attached) were also seen while on the hike.  Otherwise, it was just a cold, dry day for hiking.
