Comments
Comments: I hadn't done this hike in years and I'd forgotten how rugged the upper reaches of both peaks are. And how much fun they are! The cliff ladder leading to the cave pass thru and subsequent rock scramble up to the summit of Morgan is always a kick. And the descent down Percival is the same kind of fun. Great views from the summits and a perfect autumn hike. Still splashes of color left in the hills. SLA does a terrific job maintaining the trails although some better signage could be had on Percival.
