 | Comments: |
Excellent choice when you want a half-day hike not too far a ride. Almost made book time (after subtracting the LONG time spent on each beautiful summit) and made it back home quickly. Did this clockwise, taking the ladder/cave route to Morgan (there is a bypass as well). Similar approach to Percival - either caves or ledges. We descended by those ledges. Will return to get those little sections we missed for redlining. Pretty ridge walk between the two summits, rather Hancock-esque. We will be back! |
