 | Comments: |
I wasn't confident and felt slightly under prepared not knowing which peak the canister is on. All trip reports say SW knob however my (old) topo map elevations show the NE knob the higher peak. The cairn marking parking is obvious however the cairn marking the herd path appears to be missing (or I took the wrong herd path). I followed and crossed several overgrown skidder trails following the path of least resistance and minimal traces of a herd path that I'd lose, find, lose and find through the downed trees to the SW knob and canister.
