| Comments: |
Parked at the second drainage, followed the logging road up. Very straight forward, its blazed/cairned to the switch back up. From there its pretty obvious. Lots of evidence of moose on the height of land at the summit, we looked around for a bit for sheds but no luck. On the way down we just took a compass bearing and bushwhacked down to the logging road and out of the car. A ridiculously quick and easy 2.5 miler
NO GUTS! NO GAITORS! NO GLORY! My feet barely got wet!
Also the view from the meadow lookout is amazing! |
