 | Comments: |
We followed the continuation of the logging road to about 3200' where we turned left onto a very well defined herd path. This soon turned directly uphill and hit the col more to the NKD side which makes finding the herd path to the summit of NKD easier. For White Cap we followed the upper extension of the logging road we'd turned left off of earlier, high on the shoulder of White Cap near the high point of the ridge, to a herd path marked by a pink ribbon (there's also a small cairn tucked in the underbrush close by). Picked up an unusually large amount of litter along the way, some of which was clearly from snowmobilers but alot were foot wrappers on the bushwhacks to the summits. |
