 | Comments: |
Potash is either an undiscovered or unappreciated gem. During our entire outing,on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, we only saw two couples who were on their way down as we were hiking up. We had the summit to ourselves.
Just a note, there are a couple of areas of steep slab-face that made me glad it was a dry day. If you hike it on a wet day, just be cautious when you reach this area.
