 | Comments: |
Broke "trail" from car to summit, it was exhausting. It snowed on us all day, our tracks were partly filled in on our return. We had much bigger plans but the weather conditions & snow depths prevented us going beyond this single peak. Hiked Cook Path to its intersection at head of Ice Gulch, where we began our 'whack towards southeast ridge of Black Crescent South. Mostly open woods with a couple of thicker areas. All in all it was a pretty straight forward hike. Fun day even though the weather didn't participate. |
