 | Comments: |
followed the ATV trail up from the logging rd, all the way to the hight of land, and the ATV trail stopped at a spruce forest in the old rd. Found a herdpath on the left, that led to a solar panel and radio equipment. Found another herdpath to the summit. On the way back we followed a herdpath back to the ATV trail, and did not see the solar panel.
Decended from Whitecap to the col. bushwhacked S towards NKD, and found a herdpath that led through the spruce. It ended up taking us down significantly to the W. Reversed course, and ended up at the ATV trail higher than we started. Went lower and tried again. found another herdpath up to the col, which ended up being the one we were on earlier, left this one headed S, and found a solid path up NKD. From the summit this path led nicely back to the ATV trail low, and back to the car. |
