Comments
Comments: First portion of the logging road was smooth sailing. It then narrows (bear left - cairn), where there eventually are quite a few blowdowns prior to reaching the boundary swath. Boundary swath also had some blowdowns nearing the height of land. Fairly obvious herd path leaves the swath just prior to height of land (above some blowdowns). I followed it up to a spruce glade, where I opted to bushwhack directly to the summit. Ended up picking up the herd path above this small spruce glade on the way down.
