Several minor stepovers on TT. One duckunder on WT along the ridge. Descending on TT, you pass through a logged area which could cause some confusion. The trail bends left here, look for a piece of green flagging. |

One pesky mosquito in my ear. |

 | Comments: |
A Labor Day traverse of the Packs, using a short segment of the CMT and ascending Pack via RT, which I had never been on. A very nice trail! Raptor watching happening on the summit. We then took WT across the ridge and picked up the CT and wound / scrambled our way up to North Pack. Great views from the cliff as always, as well as along TT, which is an underrated route in my opinion. Lots of ledgy viewpoints up high. Returning to our spotted car, there were many more vehicles, some parked along the road. I hadn't done this traverse in a couple of years, and I'd forgotten how nice the ramble along the ridge is. A great day out! |
