Almost two miles up Pacheco Creek Trail, I see the sign ahead for the trail to Rose Spring.

Perhaps I'll go check out Rose Spring, since the trail is only 0.2 miles long, according to my map.

I don't need any water in addition to what I'm carrying, but it will be fun to explore and find out what Rose Spring looks like, and if it has any water in it at this hot and dry time of the year.
