Comments
Comments: We decided to head up after a ride Saturday and camp so we could get a decent start on the trails up North. The weather had been on and off about possible rain and clouds earlier in the week but this was not the case. Nice cold start to get the coffee going, great tailgate breakfast, change and we were ready. The views were amazing. What a gorgeous less travelled area to hike in. Up Firewarden's, over to Avery, then to Bigelow and across to the South Horn and down. Gorgeous day spent woods walking with my sweetie. Thank you Marty for our first overnight adventure.
