An excellent trip! Middle Sister has awesome views and the trail is well tracked out. It only took us a hour and a half to get back to the car from the summit. One other thing to note is there is a territorial Spruce Grouse in the col between the first two Sisters.He sat on my snowshoe and also went after me. He did the same thing to my Dad. So beware of the grouse! |
