 | Comments: |
Out and back via normal Rocky Branch route. Used 2 paths; one up near Davis Path jct./tent site and one at brook crossings 3 & 4 on my way out. Both obvious if looking for them. Didn't talk with anyone who had taken Engine Hill BW so no info here. Trails drier than normal but still managed to dunk both feet during day. I always expect this no matter how hard trying to avoid. Quiet compared to most 4k's today with killer views for reward at summit. Nice hiking out with the two Johns and running into LRiz or maybe that was an airplane flying by. |
