Coyote Creek High Water Part 1, Metcalf to Coyote Ranch, 12/30/21 by Ronald Horii
We have had a lot of rain lately, so I went to see how it has affected Coyote Creek. On 12/30/21, I went for a bike ride on the Coyote Creek Trail, starting at Metcalf Park, going south to Coyote Ranch. The trail was flooded just south of the ranch, so I turned around. I rode north almost to Silver Creek Valley Road. Here are pictures of the trail and the creek. A few months ago, everything in these pictures, except for Parkway Lake, was totally dry.
