Today we hiked Sky Harbor in Fresno County. A singletrack or fireroad for bikes, hikers and horses, this hike is noted for its views of both Millerton Lake and the San Joaquin River. It's first mile is all uphill. Mountain bikers enjoy this 17-mile singletrack which connects to Squaw Leap.

A fire burned through portions of this trail on 6/22/2010 and was contained by CalFire on 6/23/2010. There are many new additions to the ranch/fire roads. We enjoyed exploring the fire roads today, a portion of which I usually hike anyway to enjoy the sweeping views of the San Joaquin River on one side and Millerton Lake on the other.
This trail can be horrificly hot at the height of summer because there is not much shade. But today was a gorgeous 80 degrees F. Despite the fire, there was evidence of returning flora and fauna including tarantulas, turkeys, bobcats, deer and quail.
