Argentine & McClellan - All Spurs Day


The goal of the day is to travel some of the trails of lesser interest for the Argentine & McClellan mountain trails. One trail is to the north, dropping down the mountain. It's a dead end. The others are across the valley as we come into the valley - visible on a typical visit but never visited...
