Comments
Comments: Fun day doing an unusual loop from Pinkham. I would highly recommend NOT doing this loop, unless you can time it to follow the road while the Auto Road is closed. The road walk on the Auto Rd is sketchy: There is no shoulder, and the cars already feel hemmed in on this stretch of road. Otherwise a great day above tree line.
