 | Comments: |
Having only ever come down the Mt. Evans trail, I wanted to go up and back on it. I looked for it from the powerlines, but ultimately could not find it. I began to bushwhack diagonally to intercept it. It was too discrete to pick out wherever I did hit it. I continued up and bushwhacked to the highpoint and limited view. On the way back, I could follow the trail all the way down with care. It is much less obvious than it was on my last visit. It leaves the powerlines near a telephone pole with a satellite dish. |
