A nice easy hike in an area that doesn't see much foot traffic though we saw about 10 people this day. Mostly easy grades. Trail was wet with some spots of mud though nothing you can't just walk through. Rocks ledges up top were all dry. There are several locales with great views; make sure and go out to the ledge a 100 yards or so in from the turn to the summit which has better views than available at the summit. Didn't go to the ledges past the summit (not sure if we're supposed to anymore!). Views today were obscured with haze from the Canadian wildfires but still a nice hike. |
