Comments
Comments: Pitchers, remains of cabin, sign and canister are still there. Near the top at a small cairn, we stayed straight on a snowmo trail to the main peak (later took a right fork rather than continuing to North Peak), rather than the steep trail on the right to the South Peak, and on our descent we went directly down a hiking trail from South Peak to meet the snowmo trail.
