Comments
Comments: Right at the start there are two roads to take, a grassy left and a
gravely right. Take the right. This led to some steady steep climbing
for 20 minutes or so. Things leveled off and after about a mile I hit
the swath. At first I could see up and down the swath all the way to
Boundary Peak and I was looking forward to some great views. As I made
my way up and down a couple of smaller peaks, the clouds, wind and rain
started blowing in and turned the hike into a slog. The canister is 5 ft
from the swath and easy to find. I couldn't open it and just wanted to
get out of the vertical rain at that point. Once back in the woods the
rain died down and the sun was peeking thru when I drove out. This is a
really cool hike when the weather and bugs cooperate.
